Mullard MW31-16 CRT and Cossor 92R TV/Radio - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi Folks,
I hope this is ok to ask this question here.

I inherited from an amateur radio and electronic enthusiast the above kit. I also have the service manual (somewhere)

Since then I've been trying to find it a home, but museums all seem to have examples of both the CRT and the set.

Some years ago I was offered serious cash for the CRT, but declined thinking there would be someone who appreciated the kit for what it was rather than what they could make from selling it on.

I really need the space its been occupying space in my garage for the last 20 years. Are either of the above items of interest to anyone, and what would be a fair and reasonable asking price.

Currently weighing up the value/cost of storage/not wanting to see this end up in a skip of being stripped for its case.

BTW I am located nr Glasgow.

best wishes

Jon

Hi Jon

Most early Cossor TV's have 3 numbers. (not all some pre war sets have 2 digits but I am not aware of a model 92)

I am wondering if that R is really an 8? making the set a 928.

The 928 is nice little tabletop set with a radio circa 1952

Cheers
