Default 1950s TVs on Facebook

A couple of fairly rare models have popped up on Facebook Marketplace recently. The first I think I've identified as an Alba T472. This one is 'open to offers'. Not often an Alba of this vintage appears anywhere.

The other set is equally scarce. It appears to be an Ultra Y731 according to the label. The closest I can find is an Y73 on Jonz Valve Page. The seller wants an optimistic £80 but it's been on a while so maybe a lower offer would be worth a try. Quite a compact set but with a 15" crt.

In case you don't have access to Facebook, photos are reproduced below;

Forgot to add the Alba is in Lincolnshire and the Ultra is in Rugby.
