Default Re: Rediffusion mk1

Hi
To answer post #9 there was a 20" version but was a bit awkward to service as all the boards were folded up to make them fit!
The Mk1s I had were all the refurbished models with a regunned Mullard Colourex tube and lots of mods to make them BEAB approved - quite a feat for a hybrid set. They were put in a Mk3 cabinet with the same buttons and slider controls - the only visible difference from the front was the lack of the PIL logo. They could easily hold their own against the new Mk3 chassis and customers were none the wiser.
The ones I bought were from a new disposal outlet. I'm sure the owners were seen coming as they thought they had bought Mk3s. I got them for a knock-down price, sold them all and didn't see one back again!
