Bush DAC90A Ivory purchased 1/02/1958 " original box and instructions" SOLD
The most popular classic radio availible is the Iconic Bush DAC90A. A five valve radio, AC/DC transportable superhetrodyne receiver which has Medium Wave and Long wave switchable from the
side. These receivers are small in size 9.25 inches height, 7.5 inches depth and 12.75 inches in width and therefore fit comfortably in any modern home.To ensure reliabilty as standard all
the components that would require replacement have been done. The I.F section and RF sections have been aligned and therefore is very sensistive and responsive.
Due to its simple chassis and good design this is a radio you can use and enjoy every day, another added bonus is now the avaliabilty of the original 3.5 Volt dial lamps to improve the tuning
dial though still rather dim. This one as can be seen in the photo is finished in a Ivory though in fact a plastic variation of Bakelite (Catalin) but Catlin is more
brittle and models are often shown with either cracks or chips to the body, this model has a only a very slight hairline crack,3 mm near the dispay dial on the left, but you need to look
close to find it, its that small. The tuning dial is perfect with no wear to the lettering and the back is again perfet as per photo.
As with all these models the power supply is a simple half wave rectifier but works very well. These use a UL41 as an audio output valve, if at times you hear a slight mains hum, often the fault
will be due to a cathode to heater leak, I have found this on many of these valves hence a new replacement valve has been fitted.
This model is in great condition with no marking to the polished cabinet, apart from what has been mentioned the contol knobs and the bandswitch
selector are perfect. I haver never quite understood why you see damage to these as often as you do, it would be the last thing to get misuse. The radio is much rarer due to having its
original box complete with original instructions and the owner had written the date of purchase on it. Comes complete with the original 2 pin plug, including the 12 months guarantee, a must have
for any collector
