There are many pairs of tinted glasses when it comes to the Coronation and the BUSH TV22. I don't think the TV22 was still in production in the early months of 1953 so the idea of buying one 'for the Coronation' has to be taken with a cube of sugar.

The TV22A was available but sold in very small quantities. It's quite a rare receiver. More likely a TV32, TV34 series would have been purchased to view the historic day if indeed it had been purchased in time for the event.

The vast majority of the TV22s were sold before the King died in 1952
Just a thought but I think the 'nine inch Bush' term was used a bit like the Dansette
name is for record players. John.
