[[MODS: please change the title to "Gumtree TV finds" or somesuch]]

Sobell T175 - Perth and Kinross, Scotland: Judging from the locality, this TV will have been tuned to Kirk O'Shotts (BBC Scotland) and Black Hill (ITA Scottish TV)

EDIT: It is £120, though.

Mid-50s Philips console TV, I narrowly missed one of these in my local BHF shop that was only on sale on eBay. I've regretted it ever since. £45, Bristol (so Wenvoe (BBC West/Wales) and St. Hilary (ITA TWW then HTV later))

spotted that one too, looks nice cond usually the console sets seem battered. Quite a few gumtree ads come up mostly in Scotland which is a shame foe me as we are in Cornwall !!

I doubt that they are that old, they both have rectangular tubes and multi channel tuners that would put them in the early to mid '50s. Its really a matter of what they are worth to you. The second one looks interesting, never seen one of those.

Well the Philips is in Bristol, so more in your neck of the woods than rural Scotland!

I would go for it, but the distance between Bristol and Sheffield makes it difficult. The fact I have actually run out of space where I couldn't even take a 17" late 50s consolette TV in let alone a full console TV kills my chances of ownership of such a TV stone dead.
