[Hybrid tellies]

In this area we did not see to many early dual standard colour televisions as most of the Bath area did not get colour television and BBC2 until early 1970 due to delays with the main Mendip transmitter coming on air.
So apart for a few customers that lived in favourable locations that could receive the Wenvoe service by the time Mendip opened most of the earliest colour tv's we saw were the original single standard 625 sets such as the Decca Bradford 10, ITT/KB CVC5, BRC 3000, Pye 691 and the early RBM A823.
As I said earlier the very few customers that lived within range of the Wenvoe UHF 625 service generally had the Decca dual standard, Bush CTV25, Pye dual standard and a few G6's. It was the few Decca dual standards, CTV 19 and CTV25, that we kept going for the longest as they seemed to be the most reliable and longest lasting of these early dual standard colour sets. They did give very good pictures and our customers were very reluctant to give them up.
