Wow, what an interesting afternoon I’ve had looking at the links you’ve all posted.
Memories triggered from looking at the links include my old PYE V310 in my bedroom receiving a French 819 line signal (on band lll I think) and winding up the line speed to lock the signal. I didn’t leave it there very long because the line stage seemed to be objecting. I was sixteen at the time and had quite a collection of Practical Television magazines in which I found Charles Rafarel and his regular DX-TV articles of great interest. My old V310 was later modified to receive BBC2. I learned a lot with that old set.
Again thanks for all the links lads.
Dave
