Hi
At least you have somthing on screen and it can only get better.
The oldest set I saw actually working in a home was a Pye V4 around 1970/71. It was used as a spare set in a bedroom and was very good.
Another V4 was rescued from British Relays bin and was done up to test the "Vid boxes" which I converted to 625 lines. That was in 1971 as well.
