Default Re: Bush VHF61, my first restoration attempt.

Having waited 4 days for my purchase to arrive, I was sadly disappointed to open the parcel to find the radio smashed to pieces, despite it having large labels saying fragile and being very well packed. I picked over the remains of the Bakelite cabinet to reveal the inner sanctorum of what lays before me to try to understand. It has been a learning curve.

1 Always collect your own purchase from the seller.

2 My previous aspirations of stripping everything down to the chassis and start over has gone out the window (smile).

My workbench has the workings of the Bush VHF 61 sitting upon it - it smiles back and tempts me to start the cleaning process first. More than that my brain is to say the least a little baffled.
I nearly gave up when I saw the sad mess but I am supported by having this thread to ask questions bit by bit (please excuse the pun)
