Sobell T176C and Murphy V280 televisions, photos of...

[Jeff in Pembs]

I would be grateful if any one has a photograph of either/both the Sobell T176C and Murphy V280 televisions or could point me to a website where I might find such photos? They were both owned by different members of my family in 1957. I am writing up my family history for my grandchildren and it would be nice to include some photos.

Many thanks.

I have a V280 here in the pile to do.

Many thanks Restoration73 - just as I remember it as a kid!

The Sobell as I remember it was in a tall cabinet with some fancy work around the speaker grill below the screen. It might have had doors?

Are you sure about that model no, not listed here;

Thanks for the listing. Yes, you're right, it is not listed there. I have attached a copy of the invoice for you to see and it does clearly say T176C - maybe the shop assistant recorded it incorrectly? It's not critical but it would have been nice to have a photo for posterity!

Thanks for your help.

Interesting invoice, when tv’s were fitted with 2 pin plugs.
