Default Re: 1971 Philips G6.

We've had some interesting threads in the past (unfortunately before I joined) about buying & reconditioning ex-rental sets.

I remember someone mentioned it was important to learn which sets typically had.

So when picking them out at a wholesaler, a flash new looking set might be a lot more trouble than an old but reliable TV.

Also some rental companies had disposal codes that would give a clue as to what condition a set was in, though these often needed to taken with a pinch of salt.

Especially as some depots tended to off-load modular sets with a set of faulty boards & a tube on the way out!
