Re: Television in the Home
The Philips doesn't have the full width speaker grill. Perhaps Baird T26 ??

Re: Television in the Home
Back to the present day. This gentleman, who lives in the Home Counties, runs an upgraded Baird as the family set in the lounge. He intends to have an 'H' installed on the chimney when the signal becomes available again in the London area, as is hoped.

Re: Television in the Home
Here's a picture already seen recently on this forum, taken from "Here Comes The Sun", a film starring Flanagan and Allen from 1946.
The set appears to be the larger screened EMI pre-war table set variant (eg. HMV 905, Marconi ) and to have been mounted with the rear poking through a false wall, which could actually be quite a good idea from the point of view of ventilation. Steve

Re: Television in the Home
Ah, thanks Peter. Could it be sets like this with radios generally survived the war in better shape?

Re: Television in the Home
This illustration is from my late father's copy of the third (1956) edition of Odhams "Radio Television and Electrical Repairs", but I would think it dates from the first (1948) edition.
Does the combined TV and Radio look like an actual model, or is it just a generalised artists' impression? I was always puzzled by this drawing as a child as I had never seen a combined radio and TV. |

Re: Television in the Home
My vote goes to the artist's impression.

Re: Television in the Home
Here's a closer look at Emeritus' set (1st pic). Could it be an actual set?
Talking of artist's impressions, here is a 1939 set I also posted in a previous thread (2nd pic). Though someone has suggested it might be a Burndept. Pipe smoking seems to have been popular with televiewers, especially pre-war. Maybe my uncle Ed was another example... (3rd pic). Steve

Re: Television in the Home
With regard to the first attachment in the previous post, didn't McMichael make a similar post-war TV set?

Re: Television in the Home
Hi Steve,
Surely the 2nd set in your post no. 111 is supposed to be generic, because given the subject matter, wouldn't it imply that the guide was biased if the set was identifiable? Cheers Andy

Re: Television in the Home
You're most likely right Andy, though I suppose 'sponsored' product placement is a possibility.

Re: Television in the Home
Another 'is it a real model?' picture from Odham's 1949 "See How It Works" book along with a pipe-smoking looker-in.

Re: Television in the Home
An interesting set indeed, that I can't trace. The dominance of "full-sized" valves and "Visconol" style HV capacitors point to mains EHT. It all looks rather 1939.

Re: Television in the Home
I think it's another artist's impression but perhaps they found it easier to draw after seeing the Cossor 902 with the transparent case.

Re: Television in the Home
Spot on, Peter!
Steve Edit, after you posted the picture: though there are substantial differences in the appearance of the innards. The artist clearly had good technical knowledge.

Re: Television in the Home
That was a good spot Peter!
Going back to the set in post #109 David suggested a McMichael:- Quote:
