Spotted - ID needed please - console TV.. Decca??
Hi All
Wow.. I remembered my password! Haven't been on here in ages. Life etc. Saw this in a junk shop in Sheffield the other day. Also had some (basic crappy) reel-to-reels, a big radiogram and a fewer tabletop receivers, all valve based I think. It seems the front badge was missing (evidence of one being attached at the bottom) so I couldn't get a positive ID on even the maker, but it seemed similar to the Decca sets with the slightly fan shaped baffles on the front. |

Had the screen been flat,I would have said Decca projection set 1000.
So,not sure if it is all original.

It is a Decca 101. The Plessey Mark 1 chassis is installed which is almost identical to the chassis fitted in the Regentone Big 12 and many Defiant sets.

Yes David. A Plessey/Defiant chassis in a posh frock. A good chassis but a bit simple for such an elaborate cabinet. John.

Hi John,
remember the green Decca 121 cabinet? Well now it's going to be the recreation of a model 101. Job is going well and should be completed by the year 2025..... DFWB. |

Also looks like a Belling Bedwarmer on top of it
