Hello Fernseh,
I quite agree, the Bush TV24 12" table model has had a unfairly cruel life! My favourite is the TUG24 console. This is a fine looking set and many of these sets were still giving good service well into the colour era.
My example was presented to me by a customer in the mid 1970's. They had bought it new, had it converted to I.T.A. with the Bush tuner and replaced it with a Toshiba colour television in 1977! Only 2 years later Toshiba would own the very factory where their old TUG24 was manufactured. Chickens coming home to roost! The set is exactly as I obtained it and the attached 'period' picture was taken about 2 years ago in my 'museum'. Most of the components including the capacitors are original.
