Default Re: Favourite Colour tv's

Or the early Philips sets with a clanger remote that could be made to chage channe by jingling a bunch of keys.

My fav one for picture is the G11, once you had done the beam limiter mod. (The one that involved moving the diode in the can to control the contrast rather than brightness.)

Fondest memory for 405 was the Stella/Philips set that always seemed to turn up at proper jumble sales. Can't remember the model but it had a single metal chassis that supported the tube with the EHT section in a metal can to the left as you looked from the rear. The tuner was a turret type with the volume control just below it concentric to the brightness. the tuner would unplug and could be removed whole by twisting a clip. As a lad I used to dangle a lump of wire out of the rear and tune to "Southern" on position 10 and watch "No Honestly" or was it "Yes honestly" late on a Sunday evening when I was supposed to be asleep!!
