Some nice sets there! I Love the Regentone Dave, I think the Thorn is a 1400 I had many back in the day...

I have a couple of TV22s myself, one was the first full restoration of a vintage TV set that I did many years ago which has since packed up!
The other was found nearly 30 years ago in a Spalding TV shop which had closed. I bought all of the stock most of which was useful as it was still fairly current at the time. However then we found this old disused workshop frozen in time full of 1950s parts, radios, tubes and this TV22! I took the TV22 and left the rest... I wish now I had rescued more! That set is completely untouched and unrestored.
