Always had rather a soft spot for the D18T having seen one in the Science Museum in around 1974. I had just reached the stage of preservation as opposed to rendering for spares and felt what a nice compact set they were. Growing up in Bath meant that most old TVs dated from 1959 onwards so the really early ones as seen in the London area were hard to track down. Lovely write up John, nice to see the internal details, truly an historical instrument.
