Re: Bush TR82D: Knock, knock...anybody in there?
Mine is fortunately not melted, but it has quite a large collection of cracks and chips, including a piece that broke off the back panel during cleaning.
An idea as to how so many end up with melted backs: as it's a portable radio, think of how many were forgotten in cars on hot summer days.
@paulsherwin: when you say the Bush TR82 was expensive, do you know any specific prices for the period they were made? So far I've been unable to locate information about that on the net and I'm curious how it compares the income of the time. A quick and dirty Google search reveals the average weekly wage for the period to be around £10-20.
