The R77 is quite a rare and sought after radio, the case looking like binoculars to give the country look when out, so you can see where the market was intended for, either the lady or man of the house out in the country, fishing, shooting or Horse riding and would have blended in perfectly. Its a clever design using battery valves powered by B126 90 Volt HT and AD35 1.5 Volt battery's inserted in the bottom via the zip.
The radio when first presented to the public in May 1957 cost £13 4s 7d, THAT WAS QUITE A LOT OF MONEY AND THE DESIGN ETC REFLECTS THAT.
The radio is a 2-band receiver covering MW 190-570 m and LW 1000 - 1900 metres .
The components that required replacement have been carried out and as standard the RF and I.F stages calibrated.
The condition of the case is very good , not perfect and the strap shows little signs of wear, but that aside a nice radio to add to any collection. The radio is very sensitive and ample volume for its intended use outside. Comes complete with 1 years guarantee
To keep the cost down i have kept the battery's separate , as you may or wish to build your own or I can supply and fit if requested
Save this product for later
I will have vintage and period Turntables for sale. I can also advise or service or restore your own.
