I came away from the show with two TVs. A Sony KV-1320UB Mk2, a set that has been on my "nice to have list" for a while. The cabinet is in good clean condition and the set gives good, if slightly soft, pictures. I guess the tube is a bit down after nearly 50 years. Some of the control pots are a bit noisy.
The other set is a Nippon FS-714. This is a hand held set similar, though slightly bigger, to the well known Sinclair. It is triple standard, UK, Europe, and US and works well on all three. It also has an FM, AM, and SW radio built in.
