Description
Vintage 1940s Grey & Maroon Cossor 469 Portable Radio
Converted to an Active Bluetooth Speaker
Full Working Order, Serviced, Rewired
The Cossor 469 portable valve radio was produced post WWII in 1947 and was a very minimalist utilitarian design. Cossor were a major British radio manufacturer, and produced a wide range of sets until the 1960s, when they concentrated on radar. The radio originally would have operated on LW & MW and been powered by a large 90v battery.
This radio which was not functioning and has recently undergone a conversion as an active speaker and has been modified for use as a Bluetooth speaker. This allows you to use the radio to listen to music or stream digital radio via an iPhone, iPad, PC or any Bluetooth enabled mobile phone or MP3 player. Pair it with your phone and away you go!
To ensure safety, the radio is now powered by a brand new external transformer, meaning no high voltage electrical connections are inside the radio, only low voltage power, similar to that of a battery is inside the unit. The external transformer has been fully PAT safety tested prior to shipment.
The radio has been tested for a minimum of 24 Hours as part of our quality control process and only after it has passed this and other tests will we allow it to be sold.
Please be aware that this item no longer works as a standalone radio and will need an external device (mobile phone, ipad etc) plugging into it to work.
Condition report:
The radio had been converted using a modern amplifier connected to the original speaker which helps give the original mellow tone. The original volume knob still adjusts the volume for the unit, and is also the on/off switch. The tuning dial indicator still moves across the scale. By replacing the valve amplifier inside this unit, we believe this radio has been given a new lease of life, and is now safe and usable in a modern home, with no worries about overheating or blowing valves, this unit can be left on all day without worry or constant replacement of consumable parts.
