A nice GEC radio... but what's the model? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello again

just a quick one, I got this nice looking gec radio (or whats left of it!) yesterday, and I haven't a clue what the model number is! I don't normally bother with GEC radio's, but I liked this one, so I bought it

the vast majority of its insides have run off somewhere, so I thought it'd be an interesting project to re-build it!

anyway, here it is!

regards,
lloyd.

It's a BC4050.

Hi Darren

thanks for that! I'll go on a service data hunt now!

regards,

I've just realised there was a 4050L variant but I don't know the difference. Paul Stenning's data covers both.

yes, I noticed that too, looks like its all covered though on the trader sheet, which I've just downloaded along with the broadcaster sheet from the link at the top. thanks for your help! I think this thread can be closed now? sometime in the future there might be a success story on this!

regards,
Lloyd.
