Default Re: Earliest BBC2 Sets?

Moving away from the 11U another very early example of a dual standard receiver is the Ekco/Ferranti chassis from 1962 just before the Pye takeover of E.K.Cole. The model pictured is the Ferranti TC1082 with motor driven tuning on VHF and remote control. It still performs quite well and was last switched on during the last hour of analogue television some months back but still burst into life without a fuss.
