Default Re: Favourite Colour tv's

Ah yes, Teleton. I only ever fixed one of these, and that was enough. I remember it had valves, but whether it was hybrid I can't recall. It was obviously designed on the 'replace one' methodology (remove parts until it stops working, then put the last one back). : It was simple PAL, and had AC coupling on the luma and the colour difference signals - no clamps to be seen. The effect on News at Ten was interesting, with the newsreader's face changing colour every time the inset picture changed. The CRT also had low focus voltage (i.e. <= grid 2 voltage) just like a mono tube, and had weird Japanese phosphors so reds were orange.

Surely the worst colour TV ever to be marketed in the UK - unless anyone can beat it...
