Default Re: Ferguson 705T Picture Request

The "Golden Glide" receiver was the model 606T. Information for this set and other 600 series receivers can be found in the 1960/61 Newnes Radio and Television servicing book. Other models were the 646T portable set and the 636T table model. The 19" model 705T "Senator" is as John mentions employs a very similar chassis. Other models in the 700 series were the 725T a 19" table receiver and the 727T 23" model. Later phase 2 versions were convertable to dual standard operation. In the phase 2 models the PY32/33 valve HT rectifier was replaced by a BY100 silicon diode. 700 and 700 phase 2 models were made from late 1961 to 1962.
The first double deck printed circuit Ferguson/Thorn TV receivers were the 500 series models which included the popular model 506T. The 1959/60 range of models.
The first double deck Thorn made TV receiver was the Marconi VT161 of 1958.
