Nice speedy repair Paul, those little RIC1's are great performers!

They are incredibly sensitive radios for such few components Victor. Well worth adding to the Northern Rambler collection!

Good to see you back with a lovely little radio. I recently bought a Roberts R760 just needed some switch cleaner a good clean some Polly watch on the facia , been looking for one of these as i like the wood front and back. used your advice and after cleaning applied a couple of coats of Danish oil looks amazing now. Cheers Darren (:

Thanks! Sounds like you had a result Darren -- well done. The R760 is a nice looking set, and is essentially a Roberts R250 in a shiny new coat. I like them.

Lovely little radios these. I am lucky enough to have the RIC1 and RIC2. Both perform well but I think the RIC1 with its "old school" pointer dial is the nicer of the two.

I'm lucky enough to have several! To be honest, if I was choosing between the RIC1 and RIC2, I'd settle for a RIC1 too. Similar designed dial, and even more sensitive, is the R303. One for you to look out for. Beware of the module (therein be demons - AF117 transistors!) Thanks for the comment Gerard, and for watching 👍

A nice recovery from a twiddler. Maybe they got Frequency and Meters mixed up?

Didnt that tune up make a difference :-D From deaf as a post to super sensitive. Someone must of messed with it, i can't see it drifting that far. Shame about the scrawl inside, maybe stick some brown paper over it. Not much inside that one, i imagine the chip would be doing most of the work.

Indeed. The Phantom Twiddler... The infamously indestructible TAD100 does the bulk of the work, everything else feeds it. As for the scrawl, someone was obviously proud to own it, and didn't want it going missing! I have a rattle can of black that'll take care of that nicely! Thanks for the comment, and watching!

I have a great many Roberts radios - and several colour variations of the RIC1. This model is amongst the most sensitive of the whole Roberts range, and I would recommend them to anyone considering a vintage transistor radio. Another close contender in the sensitivity stakes is the Roberts R303. Thanks for watching Ray, and for the comment.

Stronger than many other sets yes Simon. RTÉ booms in loud and proud on this one. In fact, it's so good, I might go have myself a bowl of strawberries.

Wow. My Hacker won't receive RTE at all here in Sydney. Will buy a Roberts. Cool.
