Default A Philips 'Twin Line' 405/625 and another 405 set

Happend to be browsing for something and stumbled across two sets on the website for an antique shop in Bradford:

https://bradford-antiques-collectabl...business.site/

I have been in contact and the Philips is £65 and the other is £85 (or both for £120)

The Philips looks like their 19" model 19TG121A, which is (was) convertible to 405/625 working. It dates from 1962-3.

The other has a Philips look about it too and I think is badged as a Stella. Wouldn't expect it to be the more expensive of the two these days, but maybe they're just thinking it's older and therefore more desirable.

I think the lower set is a Philips 1708 which was a derivative of the 1768 from about 1960. Peter.

Looks a bigger screen than the Philips to me, so I'm guessing Stella ST6921U.

The image is the best I could do with the badge.
