Model BC5243 AC mains table set made by GEC (UK) in 1950. This is a 4 valve + rectifier 2-band (MW/LW) set featuring octal valves (V1, X78, replaced very neatly at some time with ECH81 and the chassis labelled accordingly). This set has been overhauled and works well. New braided cotton-covered rubber-cored mains cable fitted to keep the look of the set right. The bakelite cabinet has no cracks and has been given a fine polish. The rear panel is undamaged but the top 2 fixings are missing their spire nuts (however the panel is quite secure with just the 2 lower fixings). Slight wear to the paintwork around the volume and wave-change knobs (see photo), but this is part of the patina in my opinion. Overall a very nice set.
