A collection of vintage portable audio equipment and a domestic radio, primarily constructed from plastic and metal. The lot features a Bush style portable transistor radio in a tan cabinet with a large circular tuning dial and a metal carry handle. The dial is marked with various UK radio stations including Light, Home, Third, Midland, Scottish, and Welsh, with the lettering BUSH applied to the front grille. A Sharp stereo radio cassette recorder, model WQ-268E(W)WHITE, is included in its original cardboard retail packaging with internal polystyrene inserts. The packaging is printed with manufacturer details including 4 2-way speaker and 14W PMPO. The group also contains two black Sanyo portable mono radio cassette recorders, both bearing labels reading SANYO PORTABLE CASSETTE; one is fitted with a shoulder strap and a UK three-pin power plug. Also present is a Sony Walkman personal cassette player, model WM-FX101, featuring a radio and marked with anti-rolling mechanism. Accompanying the electronics is a small red box for a Ross C30 accessory and two black soft-shell protective pouches. This lot comprises the electronics and accessories shown on the wooden shelves only; the shelving unit itself is not included.
Condition report:
The Bush radio shows visible surface dirt, scuffing to the tan plastic cabinet, and a small piece of white paper residue on the upper left front (photo 1). The Sharp boombox appears to be in unused condition within the box, though the cardboard packaging is heavily worn with significant tearing, crushing, and creasing (photo 1 and 4). Both Sanyo units show heavy signs of age and long-term storage, including thick surface dust, grime, and wear to the control panels and piano-style keys (photo 2 and 3). The Sony Walkman displays minor surface scuffing to the black plastic casing but appears intact (photo 2). All items in this lot are sold as untested.
