This is a classic transistor radio made in 1961, at a time when manufacturers were still applying some imagination and styling to transistor sets rather than shoving them in uniform rectangular plastic boxes! The PT208 case is vinyl covered plywood, and is quite solidly constructed. There were in fact several related models, branded Ferranti, Invicta and Pye.
Sympathetically restored the original MW / LW transistor based receiver technology has been disconnected and appropriate bluetooth board added.
Still making use of the on/off switch it's soft deep toned speaker truly makes this a talking piece as well as a slice of history
With no appreciable damage to the casing it's truly an indication of the respect given to these radios over the last 65 years.
Radio Dimensions - 240 x 130 x 75 mm
Please note:- Although the original chassis and valves etc have been left in the case this is now purely a bluetooth speaker. We do try to source the highest quality original radio donors that we can find to convert but, bearing in mind, some of these radios are nearly 70 years old, please do not expect these items to be in 'fresh out the box' condition. We refurbish within the limitations of the original radio condition and will always be honest and up front about any minor damage which may have occurred it's lifetime. Please bear this in mind before pressing the 'Buy' button
