Default Re: Bush TV12/TV22 differences

Quote:
I prefer the TV12AM, pretty red rf chassis of the '12 combined with the better performance (including focus stability) of the '22.
Having restored a few TV22's, I actually prefer the TV12.
My TV12 was a very rough example, but turned out way better than I could have hoped for (see here: https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...d.php?t=122824).

The quality of the TRF RF deck is superior to the later TV22, none of those nasty wax decouplers to deal with.
Picture quality is very good indeed, no focus drift problems and very stable even after several hours viewing, I also think the sound quality is better too.
