Two weeks ago I found this old radio in South #India - one of the markings on the dial reads “BBC Delhi” - so I had to buy it. Now I have to figure out how to restore it. #WorldRadioDay
He also has this one on sale. It also had BBC on the dial. I didn’t buy this. But it’s also quite cool. #WorldRadioDay.
@BBCRajiniV A colleague? radiorestoration.co.uk/about
@BBCRajiniV What a find. When you come across something like that, you can't walk past it & think 'I'll come back later.'
@BBCRajiniV I have a similar one from my childhood here in the UK. There aren’t many people who can restore them anymore, but I found a great guy in Cornwall if you need someone…
@BBCRajiniV I met someone in Delhi who restores and upgrades old radios like this, mainly to make them digital/dock/aux friendly. I’ll see if I can find his details.
@BBCRajiniV We had a radio like that when I was growing up in Bombay in the 70s .
