The model after the 11U from Pye, virtually the same chassis but an EF184 instead of I think a PCF80 for the vision I.F, plus seperate preset contrast controls made a big difference. Even with a valve tuner and of course a decent signal the 625 pictures were defiantly better than the 405 ones. I used one at home between 1970 to 74/75 , excellent pictures.

I did refurbish it with new valves, CRT and any other items that were below par.
