Default Re: Murphy V310 1957.

Before finally boxing up this evening I finished giving the chassis a light clean. Just a paint brush and Mr Henry. The Bakelite tube surround was brought to a nice shine with a little effort and a dab of Brasso.

It really is a grand receiver. My phone camera tends to flatten out the peak white content of the picture but it does give an idea of what it is capable of.

Both timebases have a solid lock with all the original presets working as they did back in 1957. interlace is 100% something I have noticed Murphy were very fussy about.

It is about as good as it gets. 405 lines in all it's glory! Full entertainment value with a brilliant 17" Mazda CRM172 CRT. [Mazda certainly knew a lot about phosphors and aluminising.] It is very watchable with moody scenes appearing as intended with excellent black level.

A very easy repair needing only replacement of the wax capacitors, cleaning and adjustment. Regards, John.

PS. Peter, I thought that was the name of a KB television receiver..
