• Notes

• The Bush radio TR104 was released July 1961, price £11 2s 0d plus purchase tax. Guest Ronald Camp wrote to us: "The "Long Player" logo was added after this radio came top in a "Which" test of radios in respect of battery life by a long head, no doubt because the battery was much larger than the PP3 used by the competition. When the TR104 was bought before the "Which" report, it did not have the "long player" logo." The TR104 is the smallest Bush radio made in the 1960s.

  The battery was a PP7 or equivalent.
