Default Bush SRG106 Radiogram

Hi all,

I noticed a Bush Radiogram in my local charity shop today. It was playing a record and sounded good.

I've included some pictures of it. The lacquer on the top is flaking off but otherwise it looks good.

It's up for £90 in St. David's Foundation Hospice Care shop in Caldicot, Monmouthshire, South Wales.

Richard.

I bet it sounds really good, if we had the space I’d get it.
I wonder if it has same amp as in the Bush SRP41 that I am just serving, the deck looks the same, albeit different colour, it’s black in the SRP41.
Cheers
John

I think this is a hybrid chassis. Probably RBM’s first.

Yes, indeed a hybrid. So failed grid coupling caps and tin whiskers to deal with!

10" bass units + tweeters, 5 watts per channel, push-pull output.

The deck in the radiogram is the UA16, which is cosmetically identical to the UA15, except that it has a taller centre spindle, and the arm has higher mountings, both of which mean that more records can be stacked than on the UA15.

The BSR 'Monarch' turntable reminds me of the Ferguson Stereogram we used to have at home. My dad was very proud of his World Record Club issue of 'South Pacific', especially the way the male singers of "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame" answered each other, alternating between left and right loudspeakers:

"We got sunlight on the sand,
We got moonlight on the sea,
.................................................. ..................We got mangos and bananas
.................................................. ..................You can pick right off a tree,
We got volleyball and ping-pong
And a lot of dandy games!
.................................................. ...................What ain't we got?
We ain't got dames!"

A good turntable but the playing weight of the arm was not kind to stereo LP's!

This Bush set will look great once it's restored, assuming somebody has space for it ...

Best wishes
Guy

Despite the fact I don't have any space for it I bought it, but I really need to have a sort out of sets I'm no longer interested in so I can get this radiogram as well as other items tidied up and working properly. Cheers Neil.
