Name the dual standard monochrome meeting a sticky end?
Good evening,
I was watching a 1980 vintage Eric Sykes comedy film called "Rhubarb Rhubarb" about a vicar and police chief having a round of golf and trying to cheat each other. A very good comedy!!.
Part of the way through a husband drops a television set out of the bedroom window after his wife throws a golf ball through his cold frame! I have been trying to identify the set. The picture of the set isn't great though it looks like it is a dual standard mono set as there are 2 large round silver knobs below where the speaker is on the right hand side.
Surprisingly it looks as if the CRT survives being dropped from the upstairs window (no dark patch appears in the centre of the CRT where the phosphor gets blown away when the neck gets knocked off) though the cabinet certainly falls apart!
See the pictures below!! This is good as I can get the pictures to be.
