Default Re: 'Beau Decca 131 projection receiver 1950'

Hello David,
Mmm, looks like that baked bean tin is lacking tomato sauce.. The waveform looks spot on.

I have located another one in Fingal's cave and it is only a simple matter to give it a real test in my 131.
Philips certainly supplied the unit well into the 60's. I guess they had hundreds left over when the projection receiver production stopped abruptly with the introduction of the 21" direct view tube in 1954.
I will have a go over the weekend. If it's any good I can send it via carrier Pidgeon. We have some real hefty ones down here so keep the lofts open. Regards, John.
