Thirty-three: bush radio


Thirty-three: bush radio, originally uploaded by meganknight.

First of all, let me say that this is an original Bush radio, not one of the replicas you see around these days. It’s also working, a rarity, and Martin’s pride and joy.

He bought it somewhere in South Africa, and it’s come a long way with us, although we seldom play it. Like a lot of original Bush radios, it doesn’t have longwave (FM), so it’s not that useful. It is lovely, though, an object with great presence and history, and I love seeing it on the dresser every day.
