Hello John
I can certainly see the difference between the two pictures, the 3/16 does seem more woolley... I have the console version of the 1807 and must dig it out to make a comparison between the two..
My very first television as a boy was VRC52a, this when the set was only nine years old..1958.. It certainly gave a good picture. Bought for only pocket money from a local television dealer, it had been a part exchange and was thought to be a non worker. The fault turned out to be a faulty octal socket. My parents had no idea what danger I was playing with, neither did I!
Unfortunately that particular set is long gone..
Best wishes
Peter
