Re: Decca varitune Colour portable
Very interesting. I recognise the cabinet styling with it's distinctive base and I'm sure the versions I remember had a simple rotary tune dial.
On your set it seems you have the lower three buttons as presets (hence home-made labels) whilst pressing the top button presumably activates the rotary tuner above it (with it's knob missing), hence ''Varitune" I guess. A rather over-elaborate system I would have thought, with no particular advantage!
Nice set though, well worth preserving (as are most 80s crt colour portables now I should think)
