Default Re: Dux/Philips Swedish TV-Radiogram!

Thanks very much indeed for the service data Fredrik. Very much appreciated. The under-chassis plan on page 2 is mind-blowing! I wouldn't have liked to be the one responsible for drawing that correctly.

So do I Hampus! It still looks good today and hasn't dated (as long as you keep the doors closed!)

Thanks for the info, Oskar. The on-screen tuning indicator sounds revolutionary for 1959. I've only seen something similar on Japanese colour sets of the early 1970s. I'm really looking forward to seeing it in action. Some Philips models in this country used a photo-electric cell to brighten the picture when the room lights were switched on, but the tuning indicator is a new one to me.

I'd love to know why, when and how this tele-radiogram was imported to the UK. It's a long way from home and may just be the only example in the country.

Thanks again
Steve
