Bush VHF80
I have two of these radios at one stage, one I bought, and the other belonging to someone from work.
Both suffered from Hunts capacitors ("mould seal"), which took some time to sort out and replace.
However, the second one was owned by a work colleague who wanted to donate it to me. Whilst getting the radio from the boot of his car, he nearly let it slip out on to the car park at work which would have destroyed the set. Luckily, I was quick to catch it!
When I got the chassis from the cabinet, I noticed that the wiring to the heater chain had been broken in several places (not sure if it was deliberate or not?) I managed to rewire the heater chain and of course change all the bad capacitors and a few resistors.
Later, I managed to persuade him to keep his radio and charged him for my time. He agreed and said that he was glad that he did not get rid of his radio.
Cheers
Mike
