Bush TV 230 DS
I picked this up a couple of weeks ago along with another set. I decided today to remove the chassis and treat the cabinet for woodworm using protim (the good stuff) as there was some fresh fras inside the cabinet.
It's quite a ruf set and the tube reads very poor, although hard to say until we see a picture on it. If it does need a tickle I hope it responds as well as tube in the GEC at Mikey's did. Cheers for now John Joe. |

Re: Bush TV 230 DS
Interesting set, presumably made in Dublin for the Irish market?
Looks like it is based on the UK Bush 23” model TV148, with a valve VHF tuner and a valved IF/video/sync/audio panel..? |

Re: Bush TV 230 DS
Hi Daz, yes I believe it is the same set. Cracking day here so had it out in the sun drying off. Have it back together now, it will be a while before I get around to it, few more in the queue ahead of it.
Cheers, John Joe. |

Re: Bush TV 230 DS
I recently "went through" my Bush TV161 that's been on the to do pile for ages. When I saw the back cover of yours, I thought that it was a version of that but reading the comments above, I see different!

Re: Bush TV 230 DS
That extra knob at the very bottom of the control panel looks interesting.....

Re: Bush TV 230 DS
Hi Lads,
That extra knob is a tone control, very luxurious... |
