Mind you, the Baird 240-line system was dropped within months.

Original dual standard (405/240) sets extremely rare, though I know of at least one owned by a forum member.

As an aside, another member owns an equally-rare experimental 405-line NTSC colour television.

(I am respecting the privacy of these members by not naming them - GDPR and all that!)
