Re: Ferguson 247T: huge console TV set.
Pictures of the chassis. There is some surface rust in places but otherwise it is in good condition, just needs a good clean.
That smoothing capacitor is the first component to be replaced.
The circuit design is a development of the 14 and 17" models, the 203T series, called the nine star chassis. For the extra power required for the 21" CRT the PY32 valve HT rectifier is replaced by a finned selenium metal rectifier. The reason for the change was to increase the HT voltage. The frame output valve is a PCL83 instead of the ECL80 used in the smaller sets.
The build date is confirmed as late 1955.
