Default Re: Telefunken Bradford

Hi
The Telefunken Bradfords I've seen most of were the 22" one with the 7-selector flaps with green indicators and slider controls - slightly newer than the one in this thread. The big problem with those was the Sylvania CRTs (yellow label) they were inevitably fitted with which went soft very quickly.
We always sighed a huge sigh of relief, however, on seeing one of those instead of a Telefunken 711 (aargh!).
They were popular with the rental market as well as sales - I remember starting to repair one in a customer's house when they asked what had happened to their usual rental engineer. Turned out I was in the wrong street - "my" set was in the next street down, same number, same model, same fault! Luckily I got paid for the real set...though customer number one couldn't see why I couldn't finish his job!
