is it the real thing?
a bit of retro eh?
i like it.

would love to be able to trade on there.
wouldn't know where to begin.
and uploading photos?
we have so much junk here.

I collect 50's and 60's phones and radios Eric.
I usually have to pay around £60-70 for that particular Bush model but the guy was doing collection only and I only had a few bidders to fight off.
Means a drive to Gravesend but that will be a nice day out.....we used to shop there a lot in the late 90's.
A real bargain.....and going by the knob design it's around a 1953 job.
Bet you didn't know they were called Bush because their first factory in 1932 was in Shepherds Bush.

no i didn't.
but if that's your gig,
you'd know stuff like that.

it's like those old telephones,
i'm trying to think of the material they were made from.
i like that sort of thing.
bakelite?

Yes, bakelite....the radio I just won is bakelite.

have you got it yet?

Driving down next week.
