Yes, most with the ubiquitous vase of flowers on the top, providing the spillages that kept us busy.
Are we going to identify the sets? Let's have a go...

First row: 17" BRC 1500; Philips 300 series; Granada badged GEC series 1
Second row: Granada portable* x 2 and a Baird 1500 (just like my gran had!)
Third row: RBM/Murphy A640 chassis; Granada badged BRC950?; Another portable
Fourth row: Looks like another rental BRC 1500. Never seen that presentation before. Does it say Multibroadcast bottom left? Hmm.

* The Granada-badged portables are interesting. I recognise the sets but don't know who made them. I think they are possibly Japanese imports.

Interesting that the photos date from 1973 and not a colour set in sight.
