Re: Favourite Colour tv's
The GEC 2028 mentioned by Brian holds a special place in my affections as it was my introduction to colour TV. Small quantities of them started to appear on the ex rental market in the early '70s, you had to arrive early at the depot's before the lorry came in to get a chance of buying one or two. My first purchase terrified me, you had to lay out quite a lot of money for one then, what if the CRT is u/s? what if I can't repair it? My first decoder fault was very worrying and took me several days to solve, it was all new technology to me then - we got to know our way round them though and the secondhand TV trade was very lucrative in those days.
