The TR82
Following on the success of the initial design Bush released in 1959 the TR82, a transistorised version of the MB60. Instead of battery valves this set uses seven Mullard OC-series transistors. Unlike the MB60 the set is battery powered only, using a 9 volt Ever Ready PP9 or equivalent.
The initial models released were the TR82B and the TR82C, the difference only being in the colour scheme offered. The TR82B model has a cream case with a dark brown rexine band around the middle and as with the MB60 the metal trim on the set is brass. Whilst the colour of TR82B case is best described as "coffee" or “mushroom” in shade, Bush described the colour themselves as “Regency Cream”. The TR82C model has a light blue/green case with a dark blue rexine band around the middle, metal trim on these sets being chrome.
