Flipping a Telefunken Flip Clock Radio.
There are plenty of Sony clock radios, but this Telefunken 201 Flip Clock Radio is a rare early-Seventies beast - it performs well, with looks almost ahead of its time.

Bush TR130 Repro. Radio I'VE FINISHED THE MOD.

Bush TR130 Repro. Radio COULD I IMPROVE IT?
Переглядів 5838 місяців тому
In 2002, Alba-owned Bush celebrated Britain's anticipated world cup win with a fairly authentic remake of the Bush TR130 - the radio that was manufactured in 1966, just ahead of the Geoff Hurst winning kick. We lost to Brazil. Unlike with the TR82/97- their earlier attempt at re-working the David Ogilvy-designed TR82 - Bush felt confident enough with this to christen their new radio with exactl...
I bought an Ekco AD75 repro radio...and improved it!

Good examples of the renowned round Ekcos, designed in the early part of the 20th century by Wells Coates, can fetch up to £2000. In this video I unbox a hand-made reproduction of the AD75, bought from the eBay seller who knew its maker. The seller was based in Southend, Essex, England - where the original examples were made. He believes that around 20 examples were built. So I bought it, and i...

The Wells Coates-designed 'Round Ekco' is one of the most iconic English designs ever.

    I can see a problem with fitting an aerial to that type of socket when it is on the side. The aerial will not stay upright because of the weight. So maybe bring it out a bit with adapters of some sort to clear the handle and fix it upright with a velcro strip round the handle or a blob of Blu Tack.

I'm guessing you packed it in for the same reason?

  • @Timothycan
    @Timothycan Рік тому

    I was given one of these recently, it was very mucky but cleaned up well and is in almost perfect condition. However, mine had one transistor with 'tin whiskers' which meant having to remove and take apart the IF module (a fiddly job that's not easy). The module had 2 AF116 transistors and one AF115. The 116s were both OK but the 115 had shorts, so I soldered the ebc wires together and shoved 50 volts between them and the case, that cleared the shorts, so the set now works on all bands (only FM worked, before). Whilst I was in the module I changed the 5 electrolytics as they all tested leaky. It's a nice set, but a shame they opted for those horrid 'modules' and then made them so hard to get at!

      Do you mean digital display? Or DAB? DAB radios are not really suitable for long-distance listening (DX-ing) as in the UK digital transmission blocks operate on limited number of frequencies and so installing a rooftop aerial can actually cause interference problems. If you mean analogue with a digital display, then the Tecsun range is well regarded. Thank you for visiting my channel.
