Default Can you identify this Pye TV cabinet's model number?

A friend of mine has been clearing out a relative’s house and wondered what this “Pye” branded cabinet originally housed. He told me it was originally a black and white TV. Judging by its depth, it must date from the 1950s.

Does anyone know the original model number?

I don't think your link is correct (but you now seem to have corrected it!), but thanks for the tip.

Looking at the photo of the Pye BV21C, it looks similar but not the same (feet/base differ and no ornate finish of the horizontal band just above the door line).

Yes sorry trying to do it on my phone much easier to see the difference now I am on my PC.

Good spot Lawrence.

It could be an FV2C 16" metal cone. very similar in appearance to the LV/BV21C. John.

Unlikely, as the doors aren't full length, whereas the V7CD's are.
