Smile Re: Favourite Colour tv's

For me the G11 holds a place in my heart.
Must have fixed hunderds of those as a saturday boy in Luton !
Closely followed by the KT3 for the same reason, and both easy to work on.
Also loved the CVC 5's & 9's - Excellent pictures on those beasties and nice to work on.
Another favourite of mine was the Doric Mk 3's & 4's. When I was a 'Propper' telly apprentice in the early 90's, there were loads of these sets around still.
The remote control would pyisically turn the switch off, and sometimes depending how old it was, the button would end up flying accross the room
Another fave of mine (and I feel slightly ashamed for admitting to this) was the Fidelity ZX3000. Very predictable. In fact if Mark (ILikeValvesMe) is on here he'll tell you about the one I did up for his daughter. Must have taken all of 20 minutes
The GEC duel standard set I did a few years ago (2028) gave really good pictures, but possibly my least favourite to work on. (That pesky double sided print ! ! !)
What an excellent thread

Regards

Dr Dave
