Portable Radios, Valve and Transistor offered. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Electronpusher0 · 17th Feb 2021, 4:18 pm

I am starting the big workshop spring clean.

This offer is for a number of portable radios, 6 valve portable and 2 transistor. I bought them over a period at my local car boot (before lockdown) and have realised that I will never get round to restoring them. My interests have changed to vintage audio and test equipment.
These are all untouched, they are exactly as I bought them.
I am offering them at £5 each collected or £12 inclusive shipped to the UK to try and recoup some of my expenditure.
If collecting it is from Bognor Regis.
I have numbered them so please refer to them by number when replying.

1 Vidor “My Lady Anne” – Complete with modern mains cable and 13A plug fitted (Pat test label dated 2016), very slight evidence of battery leak
2 Vidor “My Lady Anne” – Complete, surface dirt, main dial has a crack. Old two core mains cable no plug, no evidence of battery leak
3 Vidor “My Lady Margaret” - Complete, no evidence of battery leak
4 Ever Ready “Sky Baby” - Complete, no evidence of battery leak
5 Pye model ? – complete, chrome top has no corrosion, handle fabric in poor condition. no evidence of battery leak. Slight musty smell.
6 Ferguson “Flair” –
7 Dansette “Gem” – Complete, handle, plastic is coming off.
8 Roberts “R200” – Complete but filthy, hinge is badly rusted but the handle is OK.

If you need more pictures just ask.

I will run a hat until Saturday.

Hi Peter,

I’d like a shot at No. 3

Happy to pay a bit more as, if your willing, shipping would be to Ireland (which is a bit more complicated these days of course).

Thanks,
Ralph
