TR82D - How old?
I've just completed restoring a Bush TR82D - I love these old sets. It has cleaned up nicely the only problem being a slightly cloudy tuning dial but otherwise is working well.
The one I have has serial number 530/04557 and some of the Hunts capacitors have Jan 63 on them. I guess that makes this set one of the last TR82's maybe? Can anyone help tie this down a bit more accurately please? Is there a reference of any sort that lists serial numbers, model nos and dates by any chance? dylan85 |

Hi Dylan85, Please do a "Search" above for TR82d dates. Sorry I can not do a link but one of the moderators might. John.

Re: TR82D - How old?
The TR82D was manufactured from 1963 to 1965, together with the TR82DL version.
This thread tells of all the variants. There's more information, including dates, here. |

Dylan85,
For your reference please find attached a copy of the article I did for the BVWS Bulletin regarding this family of portables. Regards |
