Re: Telpro C561
I only ever saw the Telefunken that had a 'proper' Decca 30 chassis in there. It had the seven sloping selectors on the front. We always heaved a sighh of relief when it was one of these and not the dreaded 711chassis!
The Telpro/Tristar was a good idea from a servicing point of view and meant changing the 3.3 ohm surge limiter, the PCL82 or the HT rectifier didn't result in yelps of pain, though LOPTs and tripler were just as much of a pain to replace. However I always found the pictures to be poor compared to the Bradford - the IF response seemed degraded. Also the customer controls were flimsy and didn't stand up to much use.
