Hi John,
The HMV is up against stiff opposition, my Pye V600A displays a superb picture and it also has the 23SP4 tube, and like the HMV it was made late 1960. I believe KB was the first in the UK to market a TV set with the 23" "square corners" CRT.
It would seem the 23" tube arrived in the UK before the 19" tube.
Wasn't Mazda the first in the UK with the 19" 114 degree CME1901?

DFWB.
