Re: In praise of the Bush TV24.
Yes the TV24 is excellent set, much better than its little sister the TV22, it has a decent wooden cabinet not the cheapo plastic junk on the TV22 and also a massive 12 inch tube!
My TV24 had a nice history, it was sold in 1952 and went faulty 18 months later, the selling dealer took the set back for repair but was unable to effect a repair. The set was then looked at by a Bush field tech to no avail, a free replacement was then offered to the customer.
The faulty set was never collected by Bush; I luckily obtained the set when the dealer closed a couple of years ago, the original fault was a leak in the frame blocking osc tranny between the primary and secondary (how, I don't know) after a major cap re-change it was the best TV24 I have seen with a minted CRT & cabinet.
I sold this for good money during my 'broke' period when the workshop was shutting, I wish I still had it!
