KB 433 radio
Hi all,
I have a KB433 radio that I will be taking to the Audiojumble. It is, AFAIK, untouched, full of dust etc.cabinet a bit tatty but a repolish would improve it I am disposing of this for a very elderly neighbour so any idea of value please. John |

A mid-30's very basic 2 valve + rec TRF in a fairly good looking deco cabinet far too large for the radio! Very difficult to estimate the value as they seem to be quite rare.

Re: KB 433 radio
Crackle might be able help but in my opinion.
It's quite small which is an advantage. Its quirky in a good way. If it's in good condition I would say £40 to £50 But that's just my opinion anything is worth what you can get for it ! http://kbmuseum.org.uk/kb_images/kb433/KB_433_side.jpg The link is to Crackles web site Cheers Mike T

Re: KB 433 radio
Hi John
Condition is everything, my one is not so hot on cabinet condition, but I was told it had been restored internally and was working when I bought it at the NVCF. It would be useful to know if the speaker energising coil and the output transformer primary was OK, likewise the mains transformer windings. I dont think they are very common, superhet radios were taking over at this time. If the cabinet and the transformers are OK then I would suggest £30 to £50 at a guess. If the cabinet and speaker cloth are more presentable than my one I wouldn't mind making an offer for it. Mike |
