Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration by Dabhandradio Bush DAC90 DAB FM digital conversion!

DABHANDRADIO... Vintage radio DAB FM Conversions!! Bush DAC90 Plus Cossor Melody Maker... I repair and restore old valve radio sets but I can also convert them over to DAB Digital. For the purist old wireless collectors out there who are probably railing against this heresy.... Most of my work has been until recently straight traditional restorations of old sets but increasingly customers, worried about the Digital Switchover, are asking for DAB FM conversions. I wouldn't convert an old Round Ekco (!) but there are several common sets, such as the BUSH DAC90 which are plentyful on Ebay and sell for peanuts... Why pay over £100 for a Japanese black box from Currys or Comet when you can have a beautiful traditional set from me that will grace any room and sound better than the original DAC90 and be more useuable???

The DAC 90 doesn't have a Gram or PU socket and has a 'live' chassis... Over 50 happy customers would disagree with you and the Bush DAC 90 isn't even a rare radio.. There are always 20+ on sale at any one time on Ebay. I have changed tack recently and do not replace the glass dial or add push buttons anymore. The Internet streaming version has been sold as far away as Australia! Thanks for your comment but choice is the key.. I also 'restore' them as originals too... Best of both worlds??

I think it ruins the radios'.. I prefer a much less intrusive plugging a DAB radio in the Gram socket..
