Default Re: TELETON VX1110 12" Hybrid.

£180 was around 6 weeks wages in 1972 so they were a fairly major purchase !
Sorry to mention the Emo and bring back suppressed memories! We had the lot back then good and bad.
Saba, Finlux Peacock, Nat pan 85G, (brilliant sets!)
Asa, Tyne, some bl@@dy awful thing that looked like a CVC5 but had a 25kv overwind and ate LOPTS Berrycolour? possibly? Then all the usual stuff Pye 205, RBM 823... we were kept busy!
During the boon years they had bought whatever they could get, add to that the small firms' rental customers they had bought out and we had quite a range to look after.

I liked the Teleton sets they gave very little trouble and when they did go wrong they were simple to fix. Meanwhile other models would have intermittent colour every few weeks or would burn up their line osc transformer and associated circuits or splat their SGSs ... you know the models I am talking about!
