Re: Early Colour TV's. Were they produced in the UK?
The first Continental colour sets I remember seeing at Currys were the Grundig 5010GB and 6010GB the latter having ultrasonic remote control which was the first remote control set I had ever seen. This was about 1973/74 when colour was starting to boom and the UK manufacturers could not keep up with demand. These were made in Germany and as the model number denotes they were made for the UK market. I can't remember If a multiband tuner was fitted so these could be used in Eire. Many of the later Grundigs did and had the little slide switch next to each tuning pot to select Band 1, 3, or UHF. As others have said the next set to follow was the Finlux Peacock.
