The attachment shows the appearance of the Ekco T221 which was brought to the shop yesterday for service by a forum member.
I have fond memories of this model as a similar set was bought by a relative who lived in St. Andrew's Road in Hove. The set was purchased in early 1955, I remember that the set was tuned to the temporary transmitter at Truleigh Hill. The channel number was B2.
The Ekco employs a 14" CRT, the Mazda CRM141 which has a round screen and unlike the Mullard 14" CRT which has a rectangular faceplate.

This early 13 channel receiver employs a split heater chain of 0.2 and 0.1 amps which merged into the 0.3amp heater chain for the tuner valves and the CRT.
