From which set? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I found this module that I was supposed to have thrown away years ago. I can't remember from which set it was. I have some suspects, but I'm very unsure. BTW: Who made these tuners?

The connectors, tuners and yellow label scream Rank Bush Murphy to me. Not a board I recognise but with what looks like VHF & UHF tuners it's obviously an export model, probably branded Rank Arena.

I pretty sure as with their mechanical tuners RBM manufactured their own varicap types.

They are definitely for rank Z718's or T20/T22's as I have a couple of tv's which were destined for Italy and Germany originally but either never made it there or were possibly brought back to the uk ?..

There's an interesting Z718 chassis SABA here and it looks to be fitted with a very similar tuner PCB.

I would have said RBM as well.

It is from a Z718 as the T20 was the last RBM set sold here, and it didn't sell much as the importer went bust. I never had T20 parts in stock.
