The small Granada colour portables were known as the 'Colourette' I don't think they were of Japanese manufacture. They contained a fair number of valves and gave a mediocre performance. I think the name SABA comes to mind but it's a long time ago. John. |

Taken from a picture hanging in my workshop.
Here we see "Television as a new-born baby". The woman is looking at her husband as if she has been given an idea. But what is the set with the Ediswan Mazda tube? Steve |
Re: Television in the Home
I wonder if the set in the Ediswan Mazda advert is deliberately anonymised.
Quite a lot of domestic scenes here. Peter. |
Re: Television in the Home
Well if you can't find it, I doubt anyone else can and we can assume it's anonymised. Thank you Peter.

I thought this must be Leslie Mitchell until taking a closer look. Is the set pre-war or post-war?

Re: Television in the Home
Yes, looks like the 1939 model. The 1946 variant on Jonz site has a plain speaker aperture.
I think these sets were marketed under the Radio Rentals name too, but I may be wrong. Steve |

Spotted on Talking Pictures TV last night... this set appears at the end of the 1945 film "Their Invisible Inheritance", which deals with the electrical improvements to be expected in the post war home.
This looks like it could be a 1939 Baird T25. Steve |

Hi all,
I couldn't resist posting this photo of a TV in the home. This HMV 900 has been in the house since November last year. My 5 year old daughter is not sure what to make of it. My wife just calls it "The Monster". It is now the subject of a very lengthy overhaul. Cheers Andy |

Well done Andy!
And here indeed is William Hartnell. Right period. Right set. Same film company? Steve |
Re: Television in the Home
Has anyone here ever worked on a Baird T25... in the Museum perhaps? If it's anything like the T18, it would have given a good picture but was very sensitive to mains voltage variations.

Here's another recently seen on Talking Pictures TV... in the 1947 film "Just William's Luck". It is seen in a room at Honeysuckle Cottage, an upmarket home.
As usual in old films, it appears only fleetingly... makes it all the more tantalising! It is almost certainly pre-war: c.1939 from the styling. There are two views. One shows the vertical banding on the cabinet. What is it? Steve |
Re: Television in the Home
The screen is odd but it looks a bit like a Baird T26.
