Re: Philips tuners in UK sets
A fascinating and highly-researched read, Pieter- thanks for posting. I'd always been impressed by the way that TV tuners were a combination of the leading-edge tech of the time combined with volume manufacturing- but, a little like car radios, that genuinely sophisticated package was hidden in a dull metal case that was itself hidden in something else and taken for granted by most. I have a gold-pin PC88 and a PC86 in the valve stash- not that I have any need for them but I couldn't bear to discard such examples of the art of valve development.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to the transistor tuner edition!,
Colin
