The STIRLING was a very good converter. When I was a kid I rigged one up to a PYE B18T, the converter standing on the bedside table.

[What the Papers Say with Brian Inglis[?] followed by 'Scotland Yard' made at Merton Park Studios, just a stones throw from our house.] Happy Days.
A TV in a child's bedroom.
