We had many years of good service from the set and DER until around the early seventies when the set went wrong and a replacement, without a protection window in front of the tube, was loaned to us, it gave electric shocks when touched and went wrong within a month (nothing to do with you I am sure HamishBoxer ). By then I had learnt a bit about tv's and managed to buy a second hand Bush TV125 and after a few repairs including a tube replacement, with protective panel, it lasted for two years before being replaced by a colour set (which I still have after 33 years).
