Re: Philips 20" G8 colour receiver 1977.
Looks great!
I have one of these 20" sets in quite a sorry state, cabinet wise. Must get round to it. As far as I remember it was retired due to a short-circuit mains (yes, mains!) transformer. I was given another one by a kind forum member which I must fit...
It wasn't possible space-wise to fit the twin-panel IF and decoder boards to this particular version - the manual told you so.
PS. The blue-label A51-220 tube was also used in the Pye 20" 725 series. The G11 did have a 20" tube, the 20AX A51-500X with the odd side mounting EHT connector which was in just the wrong place when you closed the right-side door. B&O also used this CRT. Don't think the Rank T20 used it, though as ironically there wasn't a 20" version.
