Re: Fidelity CTV140
Our cash and carry stocked the 'britannia' badged versions for something like £99 + VAT, astoundingly cheap in those days.
I inherited a second hand one from somewhere with a welded mains switch, I just put a new one in and it was the kitchen TV for years. Nice bright picture and never put a foot wrong until mum upgraded to LCD to get some of her worktop area back!
I also remember the sequential channel button type, (was it a different chassis though?). Remember tracking down a very intermittent fault where the pic would white-out with flyback lines for a couple of seconds once every 10 minutes or so, turned out to be a fine line of carbonisation along the body of a diode on the tube base, BA159 or similar.
