bush: VTR330; interesting information from a guest

This was sent by guest David Potter, Friskney, Loncolnshire, UK:

I took part in the original launch of this model in the Rank Radio International factory in Skegness Lincolnshire. U.K. As a final tester.

The year was 1974, although the model was in prototype in late 1973.
It was only a few months later that the Skegness factory closed and all the workforce were made redundant. I possess a mint condition example of this radio Serial No. 358A/9300 and use it regular. As you see, it is a very low serial.
No more were produced and the model was shelved indefinitely. I would make this aware to your members as this affects the value somewhat.

Yours David (G1ZQC) Lincolnshire U.K.

To thank the Author because you find the post helpful or well done.

The Bush VTR330 is a rare model, my mother bought one new and I've only seen a few other examples since, two of which I acquired. I'm glad the year of production has now been established.
