Blimey! You got round to running one of the 850s up in the end then mate!

I can't talk... After all the time I wanted a GEC dual standard and then finally getting one it has been displayed in my dining room but has never seen power in fact I don't even remember having the back off...
Hopefully the tube will get better with a run, at least there isn't much else wrong and after all those years of disuse it's quite remarkable!
I will follow your progress with interest!
Rich.
