Default Re: Earliest BBC2 Sets?

It looks from the illustrations that the model 12/U also employed the nasty cabinet. It made their second hand almost value zero!

I would add that the chassis was very reliable above all predictable. It also gave very good pictures. The UHF performance was not so good due to Pye's own UHF tuner. [HOPT] Later versions had much higher gain on UHF.J.
