Having collected and restored many vintage TVs in the 70s and early 80s including quite a few pre-war ones and the rest that were all no later than 1950 models (nothing bigger than 9"), I now have a solitary TV22a that has awaited restoration for some 30 odd years. That day may be coming soon and so I am starting to consider a standards converter. The role of the unit will be, simply, to enable me to watch off air TV programmes on the TV22 (only) in the UK.

What SCs are currently available that fulfil my criteria and what are the pros, cons and prices of each?
