Default Re: Stella ST1007U

Hello David,
These were quite rare in my part of London. As you mention the tuner is the later 17TG100U series with PCC89 and printed circuit coils.

Certainly an odd cabinet layout and I feel they may have sold more if produced in the conventional style.

1768U chassis noted for it's reliability and very long life. The LOPT is a complicated expensive affair with a rubber pot of rod magnets that you add to or take away to obtain line linearity. Only Philips but a great chassis evolved from a large range of reliable chassis from 1951. John.
