Default Bush VTR103 restored

Some purists out there would take issue with me for painting this , but I like it and would now give it house room , It did need a cabinet repair the usual chips out of the back etc , all the hunts capacitors replaced all but one of the transistors replaced , most of the electrolytics replaced , The AF139 mixer /osc in the VHF tuner gave a strange fault it worked fine , but when tuning it sounded like a noisy tuning capacitor , the transistor was actually microphonic .Originally It was the brown and cream one yuck, I stained the brown sides with some dark blue shoe dye .
