A man after my own heart David. These young kids have no idea what a good telly should look like. [slobbering over TV22's]
The 1446 looks quite good in Mikes pictures but I still think it's an ugly duckling. Strange because Philips designed some of the best looking receivers. The previous 11/1200U series were very nice. The turret tuner was an after thought of course, the chassis being the twin design from the five channel period. They had to stick it somewhere but I'm not a fan of the 'Cyclops' look. Brilliant electronics of course from such a respected company. Regards, John.
