My most recent purchase (unboxed today): a Bush TV22 Mk X?...
It's in great condition (with a nice layer of dust), and I see no signs of previous repairs / restoration.
The main chassis S/N is 124/06297 (so Mk 2).
The RF chassis is numbered A22/22715 (so, again, Mk2).
However, the RF chassis is populated with EF91 miniature valves (see attached photos). As far as I know, Mk2's are supposed to have EF80s only. The date on the 50 uF cap on the RF deck is May 52.
As anyone come across something like this?
