Well, would you have left it there?
At the recycling centre with yet more rubble when I spotted this poor lonely set among the flat screens. Nearly drove off, but then I couldn't resist and liberated it (with permission).
You'll remember these - the Thorn 1691, this time as an unusual 14" Ultra. Worked straight away (yes, I know, but, hey) - the only problems being a sluggish on/off switch and noisy customer controls.
Luckily I have one of those in-line EHT rectifiers we bought by the bucketload when these sets were current which gave these sets a new lease of life when the potted EHT rectifier failed, so I'm prepared!
The tube's very good and sharp, though my camera isn't.
Now where to put it?
PS No talk about recycling centres' policies, just the TV please!
