Default Re: Missing Sets?

Hello folks.

I was thinking about Thorn sets and the fact that there seem to be a few Ferguson/HMV/Marconiphone/Ultra badged ones kicking about but I haven't seen any pictures on here say of a Baird or DER variant.

Well the other day, one of my mates who is on Facebook knowing that I was mad about old televisions pointed me in the direction a couple of old photos that he posted on there of himself first in 1976 and then in 1982 with Baird badged Thorn 3000 with the mechanical tuner and Thorn 3500 with a varicap tuner and pilot light respectively. Does anyone still own any of these rental versions?

By the way don't panic, I got his permission to post them on here

Cheers,
