Hi Frank, The Ekco T544 was a dreadful set. No idea where it was made, it might have been made in an Eastern Bloc country. It had that look about it.
Pye model 31 was the first set to have the six button integrated tuner, I think the model 40 was a full 19" CRT receiver. That tuner was a disaster for the firm.
