Re: Can someone identify this vintage TV please?
Looks to me like a KB, checking John Evans' valve page site there is a photo of a FV40 which looks similar minus radio and on the manufacturers list of sets there is an input for a model FV50 which included a radio - I presume this model is the FV50 but just a stab in the dark.

Re: Can someone identify this vintage TV please?
Thanks!
I'd fooled myself into thinking this was quite a grand console set, but it was just an illusion. Even the multi-band radio that I thought was fitted turned out to be an illusion.

Re: Can someone identify this vintage TV please?
Even I thought it was, looking closely with my brightness turned up I can now see its sat on a table. Strangely enough the KB FV50 does look quite a similar set albeit in console form. I wonder if these two companies were in any way linked?

If you were naughty, did they lock you up in that cage?

My cage was a little bigger, euphemistically called my "playpen".
That's my wife's sister in the picture.

Re: Can someone identify this vintage TV please?
You'll all be glad to know I still have the Masteradio T851 in the collection.
However, it is needing some attention, the CRT is now seriously low emission and a line cogging effect has appeared which might be sync a separator fault or more likely an IF amplifier response curve problem. The tuning is rather "peaky". DFWB. |
