To go full circle; how ugly were the Murphy TV135 clones when compared to the Astra series, particularly with the Fenbridge Guards fitted.

Hello Nick,
Glad the info was informative. I agree with you that the Murphy magazine rack style of stand was much more attractive than four screw-in leads and more stable and useful.
I also agree that the Murphy versions of the Bush TV135 series sets, with Fenbridge guards, rather than direct vision CRTs were much less attractive and impaired the displayed picture. They made the same mistake in the Murphy equivalents to the Bush TV141/TV148 sets (i.e. V159 & V153).
