Re: What's this Baird?
One of those was our family telly for many years.
It came as a purely 405 line set, and only later was fitted with the UHF tuner and a few other bits to enable 625 lines and BBC2. I was there at the time, it seemed to take about 20 mins to convert the set, and a bit longer to fit a second aerial and feeder.
The VHF tuner was a turret job and had a 'U' position as already said, which flipped the system switch to 625.
The UHF tuner was free rotating with a ball drive. The transparent knob had a slower moving scale underneath it.
We were watching one of these sets when Emley moor mast fell and our UHF picture vanished.
