It's difficult to be sure but is the date 1958, rather than 1988?- the third numeral appears to be flat-topped, suggestive of a '5'. That would seem more credible, I know some stuff used to get stocked for a surprisingly long time but keeping a spare for a 405-line only TV for some 35 years after model introduction and 4 years after the transmissions closed down seems excessive!

Is the parallelled V9a in post #8 snippet 2 one half of the dreaded U801?
