Thorn (aka BRC) owned the Ferguson brand and the Ultra brand, and also made sets under licence for Marconiphone, HMV and (I think) Philco. All used the same basic innards with different cabinets and minor electrical differences (presence or absence of tone controls and earphone sockets etc). Most were reasonably well made and were generally reliable.

The attached picture is from the Ferguson 3156 service data (Trader sheet 1873). Does this look like yours?
