Default Re: Bush TR82D: Knock, knock...anybody in there?

They were relatively expensive sets when new and would have been treasured possessions, but many have led a long and sometimes hard life as they fell out of fashion, spending years on kitchen and bathroom windowsills or in garages and workshops.

When I was at college around 1980 one of the night shift lodge porters would bring a TR82 in with him to help pass the time. I remember wondering why he was using such an ancient old radio rather than something newer with FM.
