Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
Hi Steve,
It makes the blood run cold when you see the words 'fish tank' and 'cocktail cabinet' in an advert Prices are a bit more realistic than Ebay though: I'll have to keep an eye on Gumtree: never really looked on there before!! I like the KB, but Norfolk is a bit far for me. All the best Nick |

And that Alba must be a rare survivor, hope someone grabs it.

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
If Gumtree items are to be discussed here we shall need the same rules
for Gumtree as for eBay.

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
No. Gumtree is a classified ads website, not an online auction website.

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
Though presumably, being rude about sellers or their items is not good form.

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
That KB is a nice set. I have the slightly later version, it looks almost the same but has a 20" tube and a pushbutton UHF tuner. Over the years I have seen a few of these with corroded speaker grilles, it seems if the set is stored in a damp place the grille is the first thing to suffer. The one on this set looks perfect.
The good news is that the later models are usually mostly fitted with Mullard mustard capacitors making the recap easy! The CRT on the Alba seems to have lost it's phosphor ? I bet that cost a fortune new! Rich.

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
Or is that just the effect of the pinkish implosion screen?

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
It looks like the Alba is missing its tube. I'm sure you can read the words on the inside of the back cover. It looks very Pye / Invicta-esque to me.

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
Ah, I think you're right! Maybe the fishtank brigade have paid a visit already?

Don't say anything here that you wouldn't say to the seller face-to-face. I think that is a good approach for any sort of comment online really. If there are problems in future we may have to extend the eBay rules to cover sites like Gumtree, but I really hope that won't be necessary. So far it's all fine. |

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
And another nice early 50s set on Gumtree. Looks vaguely familiar but I can't quite place the make and model...
https://www.gumtree.com/p/antiques/v...-tv/1272928306 Nice provenance too! Steve |

Re: Vintage TVs on Gumtree
That's the one Paul. Let's hope it finds a sympathetic home!
