Not a very attractive set, in my opinion. In fact it's hideous. I'll get my coat...

Yes, not a beauty but it did have the largest CRT screen size in the UK in 1936.
It will make an interesting comparison for anyone curious about the relative performance of Baird (Bush) and EMI television sets in the early years.

(He says, wishing he could play with it.)

At least it has the correct Cathodevisor CRT. Most surviving T23 sets were fitted with the Cossor 65K CRT, like mine.

Yes, I saw it. It sold for the astounding (ly low) sum of somewhere between
$4000 and $4400. I don't remember the exact amount ... several sets sold
in that range. But we don't know if the CRT is good.
