Valve Radios
More Mains and Battery Valve Sets in my collection. Some are waiting to be worked on, or are waiting parts.
Champion 851   |
The Champion 851 is a 3 short superhet valve set. Valve Lineup UCH81 UCL83 UY85. The cabinet is in good condition but chassis has been 'repaired' using modern components. Most of the components replaced are the wrong value or wired wrongly. Internal wiring has been damaged. This set need rewiring and most of the underchasis components replacing |
Ultra 50
 |
1937. The cabinet has been varnished and on the right hand side water damage has seperated the veneer from the cabinet. Valves: AC/VP1 AC/TH1 AC/VP1 AC/Pen/DD UU3. Components and wiring has been changed on the chassis, mostly the wrong types. Needs rebuilding and the cabinet stripping and repairing. |

OSRAM 'Music Magnet' |
The Osram 'Music Magnet' from 1928. Osram was a GEC company and produced a kit of parts (including the cabinet to build this radio. It is a 3 valve set and 3 different types of OSRAM valves may be used depending on the screen grid voltage (2,4 or 6volt). the price in 1926 was £6-5-9 plus the valves which range from 10/6 pence to 22/6 pence each. The set came complete with the large instruction leaflet. |

| This is the original leaflet. Not exactly a good size for copying. But its in very good condition and has the complete build instructions. |
