Default Re: Early Colour TV's. Were they produced in the UK?

The Beovision 3000 first appeared in the UK in 1968. It was the first single standard 625 line TV set on the UK market but arrived a bit too early for this to be practical. Never the less, they sold quite a few as its combination of appearance and performance could not be equalled by anything else, and people knew that duplicated BBC1 and ITV services would soon be available on UHF / 625.

They were brought in by Debenhams, there was no company owned importer then. I think Debenhams were also the first to bring in the Sony KV-1320UB, so they had the two best colour sets on the market in their catalogue.
