Dynatron audio was always its own design chassis and cabinets.
Music centres were designed and made at King's Lynn for Pye (1600, 1605,1606) and Philips (979/15 and export Philips brands). A version of that chassis, with magnetic pickup pre-amp, was the Dynatron SRX32.
The TVs were built in the Pye factory in Lowestoft, using Pye chassis. As well as the superior cabinets (contemporary as well as period) the Dynaton sets always had different audio stages high quality sound through larger speakers, plus all the extras such as remote control, audio tone controls and video tint, etc. The latest sets used Philips video chassis.
Robert had a tenuous link with Philips (they used a Philips chassis in their colour TVs) and, indeed, inherited the Dynatron brand when King' Lynn closed in 1980. However, post King's Lynn production, such as the SRX86 audio, were actually Loewe Opta chassis.
The Dynatron and Roberts brand names are now owned by the Glen-Dimplex group.
