Help Identifying TVs
Hi everyone.
There are 6 TVs on my web site which I do not know the model number of. I wonder if anyone could help by supplying what they think may be the correct model number of the set. The set brands are: 1. White Ibbotson 2. White Ibbotson 3. Stella 4. Sobell 5. Philips 6. Granada If anyone could help, that would be excellent. Thanks everyone. From Mike.

Re: Help Identifying TVs
And, er, if it's not pushing my luck too much, there is a 7th set which I think may be the most difficult of all. It's an invicta.
Thanks everyone. From Mike.

Re: Help Identifying TVs
Hello Mike,
The White Ibbotson sets were only known as the MK1 or MK2. I don't think they had any model numbers. The Sobell looks like a T90/91. [Radio and TV servicing volume 4 page 383. ]Regards, John. |

Re: Help Identifying TVs
Hi John.
Thank you for the Sobell number. T90 does sort-of ring a bell actually. Unfortunately the big White Ibbotson doesn't share its circuit with either the Mk1 or Mk2. And although the R&T Servicing books only lists the "model numbers" as Mk1 and Mk2, I'm fairly sure that at least some of them did actually have proper model numbers. I seem to recall that the model numbers were just a 4-digit number, but this is only from a White Ibbotson service sheet that I had. Thanks John. From Mike.

The K70 is an S26K497. Looks very nice, as well. HTH

Re: Help Identifying TVs
Hi Mikey,
at a guess I would say an Invicta T112 variant. I thought from memory this one had a metal cone tube. I think you will need to take a photo with the back cover off so we can be sure. Cheers Andy |

Re: Help Identifying TVs
Hi John, Mike and Andy.
Thank you for your help. So far it has been very useful and I can change my pictures and descriptions for those sets now. Andy, you may well recognise that set as it's the one that we went to collect from London in a Transit van. It does have a metal-cone tube in it. Unfortunately it's all wrapped up and down in storage in Devon at the moment so it's a bit difficult to get to. Thanks everyone. From Mike.

http://www.thevalvepage.com/tvmanu/sobell/sobell.htm The Stella is a ST1481A :- http://www.thevalvepage.com/tvmanu/stella/stella.htm Judging by the size of the screen on the White Ibbotson #2, possibly model 2015 (20inch x 15inch). Like to know the model num of that invicta (and scrounge a piccy) - if we were running a sweepstake then I'd go for T118. Have I interpreted things right and it has a 16" metal cone tube ? TTFN, Jon |

Re: Help Identifying TVs
Hi Jon.
You may well have mentioned that Sobell set previously. I know someone did, but I obviously didn't make a note of it. Thank you for the Stella model number. The 2nd White-Ibbotson has a 28"(ish) screen. Well, it's 24" by 18" - Would that make it a 2418? Thanks Jon. From Mike.

Re: Help Identifying TVs
If your Invicta uses a metal cone tube I would guess that the television section is the same as the PYE FV2C. This set has flywheel sync and a toggle switch on the back to disconnect the sync pulses to assist line hold setting. It must date from 1951/52. A grand looking job and I have never seen one before. Regards, John.

I have uploaded a zip file with the only pictures I have of the set - They're fairly high resolution so I'm sure you can do your magic with them - How do you manage to strip away the background from your pictures so well? All my attempts at ever doing this have failed miserably... :-( The pictures are at: http://www.oldtechnology.net/misc/Invicta T118 Pics.zip You may (or may not actually) recognise someone in one of the pictures from when we collected the set. Thanks Jon. From Mike.
