Sound like you had a good deal

With regards to the F numbering, my memory must have been off. I think I confused F and ICC numbers... In the late 1970's, somewhere in the middle of the SK3 chassis family (I should search for the details, possibly F7 or F8), Nordmende started using the Thomson ICC chassis, but still numbered most Thomson chassis in the F series for some years after that.
