Default Bush VTR273

Hi all, I have just bought a Bush VTR273, and was wondering if anyone has had one or has any info on them. I am a retired PC Tech, and tinker at old radios as a hobby. After googling it there is no info at all about it.

Hi Pctechman, I have copies of the Bush VTR273 service sheet and the VTR173, which the VTR273 refers to. If you would like a scan please PM.

I've drawn a blank finding any reference to the VTR 273 or 173

Some pictures would be welcome.

Sorry I can't post photos at this time as radio is dismantled, but will do later.

I think it's the same as the Murphy B944. Three waveband slimline mid-70's.

This is a B944, equivalent to the VTR173: https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...39&postcount=1
