Another big sales feature for 1960 was the push-button channel selector.
The attachment is from the 6th of August Wireless and Electrical Trader and shows the new Regentone model 17/18. The tuner unit was the compact Cyldon PC80, this new unit turned out in service to one of the most unreliable tuners ever made.
After the acquisition of Regentone and RGD by STC in 1963 the new owners of Regentone would not in due course accept the PC80 for repair and issued the miniature Philips AT7650 turret tuner as a replacement.
