That did occur to me! Hopefully a good starter set for this hobby.

Good. I was initially searching for slightly earlier sets, but was eventually attracted by the idea of a 17" CRT as the aim is not just to fix the set but to watch programmes.

I allegedly have the right one. The Type number (17-21/S) on the chassis matches the service sheet. See the two images below; I uploaded them earlier, but attached to separate posts.

Seems like the set came out in about 1956 but this is probably a later build, perhaps 1957.
