\"BBC-BushHouse-Desk\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Want to own an bit of shortwave\u00a0radio broadcasting history? Many thanks to Mike Barraclough\u00a0who shares this listing on eBay: a\u00a0BBC World Service Broadcast Radio Studio Desk<\/a>\u00a0from the Bush house in London.<\/p>\n

Starting bid is\u00a0\u00a3999<\/a>–yep, that’s some serious money–and you’ll need to travel to Bristol, England to pick it up.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full item description:<\/p>\n

This is a genuine BBC World Service Studio from Bush House. I bought this when the BBC moved out of Bush House in July 2012. Unfortunately I have no room for it and so sadly I must sell it. All the components are still original as seen in the images.<\/p>\n

Just think of the famous people who were interviewed at this desk. The whole desk is bespoke, beautifully made and crafted by BBC engineers, there is nothing quite like it. It still has all the detail such as the panic button underneath the desk, stands for computer monitors, telephone, the professional CD player and cassette desk player. Also original mixing desk, router board and switches – all you need to start your own radio station! The desk is mono as used by the BBC World Service.<\/p>\n

Original Revox Professional Series CD player C-221
\nOriginal Kenwood Stereo Cassette Deck KX-4520
\nThe original ElectroVoice RE20 Microphone with adjustable stand is NOT included and will be sold separately on eBay
\nBBC speaker will be sold separately.<\/p>\n

The lucky winner will have to ship this from my home in South Bristol at their own expense. It will require a medium sized van and two people to lift it.<\/p>\n

More pictures to follow including accurate measurements. Approx 8ft wide, 3 feet deep and 3.5 feet high.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
