Hi Guys
Well I have learnt more about my set and where it was made I think its early 1970s no dates anywhere on the caps etc

I was really lucky to find a Rediffusion collection sadly not kept in the best of conditions. I have another set which is the same as the one on the Pic but a black speaker cloth grill on the front thats my next one to repair.
I then have a cable version which came with a Rediffusion cable box not sure if that works and 7 black and white sets all with names on them (Devon, Avon, Blythe, Kinoch and Shannon ) these are a mixture of cable and aerial sets.
Then I have three MK3 sets different tube sizes. I was told this engineer only kept the ones with good tubes and so far this seems to be the case as i have a rediffusion Decca 30 which has a fantastic picture too

Will keep the pics coming as i complete them if you guys are interested
Many Thanks
Ade
