Hi.

When I worked at Rediffusion on work experience in 1983, I remember seeing old spares relegated to the upstairs stores, where a number of PD500 valves were found. At the time I always thought that their first colour set was the single standard MK1 but that used a tripler. I enquired about why they needed to keep PD500 valves and the service manager mentioned something about a RBM clone chassis so that would tie in with what Mikey405 said.

I certainly remember seeing many solid state RBM A823s rebadged as Rediffusion.
Also, I think Rediffusion used many other makes as well, especially ITT, such as the CVC20 and later sets.

Regards
Symon.
