Very pleased with this one, Ultra FM950, VHF only set from 1957.
I guess the success here is purchasing a radio from a collectors centre that works perfectly with no Hum, no hiss and no distortion.
I don't normally buy radios from such places as they usually seem overpriced for what they are but in this case the set looked in very good condition. I've always rather liked the neat styling and have been looking for a small valve VHF set for the bedroom.
I asked if I could plug it in and give it a listen before I parted with any money. On the label it said it worked and to my delight it did and very well too.
I would imagine it's been stored in ideal conditions so nothing seemed to have deteriorated, looks untouched inside. I've been "breaking it in" gently over the past week, it's been on for a couple of hours today with Radio 3 and I've really been enjoying it.
Much better sound comes from this set than you'll expected for a cheap "second set" radio. I've not even bothered using an external aerial as the internal one wound around the backboard is more than enough for the job.
