Saxo Wireless Removal?

[CitroJim]

I always say I'm listening to the wireless, people think I have a fancy internet radio instead of an old Bush!

I have a collection of vintage Bush wirelesses amongst many others... And they are all in regular use too

[CitroJim]

I successfully removed the wireless today and fault-finding has commenced

My blog will soon have some news on repair progress...

Thanks all for your most valuable assistance in this... Two small screwdrivers worked a treat

Everyone has resisted the urge to mention good tunes played on old bushes!

And I can think of many others too

There's a radiogram like that currently sitting in my garage if you ever decide you want one...Cossor if I remember rightly.

I had nowhere for it to go, but it was destined for the skip if I didn't save it! ...so it's now been carted nearly the full length of the country and is taking up room in my very cluttered garage...

We must discuss that radiogram Zel I recall seeing it the last time I was over...

It's not going anywhere in a hurry Jim, have stored it such that it should be pretty safe from scratches etc and our garage is bone dry.

It's a decent sounding old thing, just late enough to have FM on it, and everything works. Volume pot is a bit scratchy though, probably just from lack of use. Think the output valve grid decoupling cap was changed as a precaution when I got it. Deck (Garrard I think) and autochanger all work nicely. Only other thing I had to do was a horribly crude sticker based solution to a very yellowed back to the tuning scale - had always meant to go back and do something better with that.

Just nowhere in this house it will fit really, so it got "parked up" in the garage pending me figuring out what to do with it.

If you think you'd be interested Jim I'm sure we could arrange something. I'd love to see someone getting some use out of it. Seems a shame for it to just sit there forever.

...even if I would have to figure out how the heck to *get* to it!

Interested, especially as it has FM on it Zel...

I thought it did but could not be sure...

Good to know 'That Cap', as it's known on the vintage wireless forum, has been changed... Failure to do so can kill both the output valve and the mains transformer...
