1950s TVs on Facebook
A couple of fairly rare models have popped up on Facebook Marketplace recently. The first I think I've identified as an Alba T472. This one is 'open to offers'. Not often an Alba of this vintage appears anywhere.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...rral_code=null The other set is equally scarce. It appears to be an Ultra Y731 according to the label. The closest I can find is an Y73 on Jonz Valve Page. The seller wants an optimistic £80 but it's been on a while so maybe a lower offer would be worth a try. Quite a compact set but with a 15" crt. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...rral_code=null In case you don't have access to Facebook, photos are reproduced below; Forgot to add the Alba is in Lincolnshire and the Ultra is in Rugby.

I wonder if this means it has woodworm?
