The latest addition to my collection is this late 1980s Toshiba 156T9B. UK made though the remote has Made In Japan moulded into it.

It's slightly unusual by being a 15 inch screen rather than the sizes either side, but the compact case means this isn't a problem.

It's has some interesting features, including a basic on screen display for settings & a dummy grille moulding on the right hand side for a speaker.

The loop aerial took a while to work out how to remove, especially as the cable was zip tied through a grille.

No AV connections but that isn't a problem with my modulator.

When showing something from my hard drive recorder is does show a light of white dots at the top of the screen for some reason, but it's not a massive problem.

The picture looks nice & sharp, the previous owner said it was a bedroom set for years & hardly used, though I can see the power button has some wear.
