Re: Did The Bush DAC90 Have A Royalty Licence Plate ?
Hi Bob, yes still using the original BEC capacitor. I think it says 1955.

Hi John without going OT and getting my thread removed been a mid 50s set it might have not had a lot or use and that is why your Royalty Plate is still attached

I'm actually listening to Absolute Radio on my DAC90A right now and I just looked inside and there seems to be no sign of a licence plate ever having been fitted - it's a 73 series five figure serial number set. I was surprised to find the remains of two dead spiders and their webs inside, especially seeing as it doesn't seem that long since I originally opened the back for its clean out and mini service. I can't remember if I checked the date on the smoothing can when I originally gave it its clean and mini service, but I may have taken some pictures at the time - I'll have to check back. |

Re: Did The Bush DAC90 Have A Royalty Licence Plate ?
Hi Techman you are right there if the set had attention in its past & if the plate was on the bottom of the set it would have been chucked in the nearest bin .or if the set been moved by the owner ( cleaning the table it was on or into another room ) it probably would have fallen out kind regards Bob

Re: Did The Bush DAC90 Have A Royalty Licence Plate ?
Hi hear is a picture of my Ivory DAC90A with its Royalty Licence Plate fitted ( thanks stitch1 for posting picture of where its located ) no chance of this falling of as the set is fitted with the Ed Dinning Auto transformer so no heat . The next question is where did Bush put the Approved tag ? kind regards Bob

Re: Did The Bush DAC90 Have A Royalty Licence Plate ?
I'm not 100% sure, but I would expect the tag to be attached to the back cover's ventilation slots with a bit of string, so it's a miracle when it survives.

Re: Did The Bush DAC90 Have A Royalty Licence Plate ?
Hi Graham you are right there as if it was inside next to the Royalty Licence Plate like the Bush VHF61 it would have caught Fire . Hopefully someone will come up with a picture where on the back is the tag secured on kind regards Bob
