Interesting about the "G6 like" version of it. As it happens, I have a G6 that I was given as a leaving present from a holiday job at a TV and radio repair workshop in Knutsford.
The CRT was low on the blue gun and I couldn't get the grey scale correct. Once I was earning as a research assistant at Leeds Uni, I bought a re-gunned CRT. The new CRT transformed the set. It worked the last time I used it, but that was a long time ago now...

As to the system switch in the G23, I'll be sure to let any solvents evaporate!
I have 405 standards converter and I'd like the set to work dual standard. I can see from the photos of the set that the VHF coax socket is still there. If the system switch is a problem I could always remove it completely and fit relays instead. Oh and talking of standards, my G6 was the 625 only version.
