Just read through this thread again. Here are a couple of sets that I overlooked.
I'll start with the much maligned Philips G9 which was used in the Roberts TV's in the mid to late 1970's. Capable of giving good pictures with its 110 degree delta gun tube, and also good sound on the Roberts models. Yes that cap on the 45v line did give problems but overall I think it was n't all that bad.
I loved the Decca 100 chassis, it gave probably the best pictures of sets that used the 20ax tubes. So good pictures, good sound, reliable and a joy to work on make this one of my favourites. These were also very popular with our customers.
