Hi Rich

Another great mini-collection! Looks like your Bush TV135 is the same as mine, with the dummy UHF tuner. The Co-Op/Defiant set is interesting- I had the same model some years ago although it was the 4-button single standard version. It definitely wasn't an A774 so must have been the stop-gap stripped down A640 chassis. I liked the way the speaker on the left and controls on the right is a bit of a design nod to the earlier Bush TV125/135.

I'll have a look inside my Sobell to see what crt is fitted and how 'hybrid' the set actually is. I'll also keep an eye out for a spare tuner knob for yours.
