"I am really looking forward to getting this set running perfectly as I know it is capable of such good results."
Hi Nick. The VT161 is fitted with the best domestic monochrome CRT of all time, the Mullard AW43-80.
Actually the VT161 was not a cheap set to make. A similar looking set was supplied to British Relay Wireless. A year later a Ferguson hand wired TV set was made which employed very similar metalwork, the model 505T, a hi-spec fringe area receiver.
