The same is true of the VC100's UHF/625 mono chassis replacement, the VC200.
I think the step change in ITT UK's TV chassis design was due to the passing of the UK's dual standard era, which allowed much more commonality of chassis design amongst the multinational consumer electronics companies.
In addition, the advantages of PCBs over hand wired chassis were so clear by then, that ITT-KB's 1960s slogan of "Hand Wired TV" was rather outdated.
