KB FB-10 Service Manual HERE

 

This is a beautiful example of the KB FB-10 Toaster Radio. It's known as the toaster radio because it looks like a toaster. Some say that it also gets as hot as a toaster, but I disagree. Maybe the hot radios need a little attention? I've fully restored this little gem and it's working perfectly. Apart from the usual coupling and decoupling capacitors, I've changed the smoothing caps and the dial drive cord. The dial glass is in remarkable condition - in fact, it's as good as new.

The cabinet isn't cracked or chipped but it does need a clean with a damp cloth. I'm not going to do a great deal to the cabinet as this is a highly collectable radio and, as with any antique, it's better left in its original condition. The speaker cloth has gone a little fluffy with age but I'm going to leave it as it is.

 

 

READ THIS IMPORTANT WARNING NOTICE

ONLY BUY A RESTORED RADIO FROM A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER
ONLY HAVE YOUR RADIO REPAIRED BY A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER

Many early mains radios have a live chassis. That means that the metal work inside the radio may be LIVE (connected to the mains) and it can KILL YOU if you come into contact with it. Exposed screws or any other metal work on the outside of the cabinet or fascia of the radio must be checked for safety by a competent engineer.

DO NOT CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL WIRING TO ANY SOCKETS ON YOUR RADIO UNLESS THE RADIO HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY A QUALIFIED ENGINEER

If in any doubt, consult a qualified radio engineer.
