Default Restored Bush TR130

Hello all another restoration this time a Bush TR130 this radio came in the same batch as the murphy B818. However this radio required a lot more work first job was to get it going faulty a AF117 was to blame cutting the screen lead cured the fault then the dial lens had to be replaced (thanks Howard) for its replacement then the case was cleaned and the grill and letters repainted and chrome polished and job done. It has to be said the sound from this little radio is very good I'm well pleased with the results on this one

Hiya Andy,

Thats a brill job, glad I was able to assist in its restoration cos as you say these TR130s are good sounding 60s radios and well worth bringing back to life
