Re: Bush VHF64
Hi Andy
I have a Huntless VHF 94 s/n 381/00321 and a VHF64 s/n 220/01892 The VHF 64 is waiting for a re-furb. but does work OK !!! I attach a pic. showing the HUM type TX, which has fewer tags on the top connector panel, the missing tags, that are fitted to the later TX, are added where the holes in the panel can be seen, at left/middle and right/top I do respect Leon as a top man with all of this technology but have to say that if you only wish to use the stronger stations, then LW/MW are very good, however the set is a bigboy and without a rotator for the inbuilt ferrite rod the radio is not one to be twisted round on the table for best reception. So I can unashamedly tell you that I modded my VHF94, to include a rotatable ferrite rod! I also have a Grundig 2043 and a Pye Fenman II but for me the BUSH is easily is the best of them, the VHF and subjectively the audio quality is marvellous The VHF 94 stays with me, the others may find new homes one day Jim |

Re: Bush VHF64
I've just heard from my neighbour - it seems he has a VHF94 from the S/N. He says:

Re: Bush VHF64
Hello all, I've just joined the forum after picking up one of these. The serial number is 220/03630. It's not in a great condition but I paid £5 for it. The speakers all work including the electrostatic tweeter but it doesn't seem to be picking up any radio signals.
I hope this isn't sacrilege but my first thought in buying it was to put a raspberry pi streamer/internet radio device in it with a chip amp so the good news is that there maybe plenty of spare parts for someone with more knowledge than me who restores these - they'd go in the bin otherwise. My question is... does anyone know what the crossover points are for the speaker drivers? Or maybe where I can get the data sheets for them? |
