Re: Television in the Home
Steve, I found the radiation pattern at ofcom:
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/asse...l-plan-v13.pdf Is the azimuthal angle measured with respect to North? Helder |

Re: Television in the Home
Hi Helder.
Since this is now going rather off-topic for the thread, I shall reply by Private Message. Steve

Re: Television in the Home
A pre-war group. But what's the large screen set? It seems to have too many grille spars to be a Baird...

Re: Television in the Home
The T5 has three bars (or five if you count the top and bottom). The later T5C and T23 just have two.

Re: Television in the Home
Photographer John Myers shot a collection called "Ten Televisions" from Middle England which can be seen on his website here:

Re: Television in the Home
"Myers claims that the people and places he photographed were ordinary, neither particularly attractive nor particularly strange, but to read these pictures of a contained 1970s world today is to be struck above all by their pastness, which is a distinct form of strangeness and one tinged with melancholy."
Yes, the 1970s is a period best forgotten. Peter |

Re: Television in the Home
Hi Steve,
From Jonz site the Decca Kensington is like the Knightsbridge but with bookshelves either side which could be what is hidden behind the opened doors in your photo. Peter |

Re: Television in the Home
One in the Scott household. Photo from 40 years ago. A GEC C2041 that was my very first colour TV bought off a pile of ex-rental sets in a back street warehouse.

Re: Television in the Home
Is that a Cannon Gas Miser I can see peeping round the edge of the picture?
Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of my first colour television - a Philips G8 (model 3720?)

Re: Television in the Home
Yes, I was really into Cannon Gasmisers in those days, mainly pulled from skips and some years later I bought half a dozen ex-rental G8s to repair and sell but unlike the 2041 they were all sin bins sets each with multiple board faults so it took me rather longer than I expected to fix them and I only got 5 working sets out of the bunch in the end.

Re: Television in the Home
A friend set me this picture over WhatsApp the other day during a discussion about (trouser) braces!
I think the set here is a Pye FV1C. I had one of these many years ago. It always seemed too short to me to be a 'proper' console, so I made a plinth for it. Steve

Re: Television in the Home
Shown before elsewhere on this forum but included here for completeness... well, if you allow a hospital to stand in for a home.
That could well be the mains lead strung out, doing duty as a "Baird Mains Aerial"! Steve

Yes, most with the ubiquitous vase of flowers on the top, providing the spillages that kept us busy.

First row: 17" BRC 1500; Philips 300 series; Granada badged GEC series 1 Second row: Granada portable* x 2 and a Baird 1500 (just like my gran had!) Third row: RBM/Murphy A640 chassis; Granada badged BRC950?; Another portable Fourth row: Looks like another rental BRC 1500. Never seen that presentation before. Does it say Multibroadcast bottom left? Hmm. * The Granada-badged portables are interesting. I recognise the sets but don't know who made them. I think they are possibly Japanese imports. Interesting that the photos date from 1973 and not a colour set in sight. Steve |

Re: Television in the Home
The Granada portables could be Hitachis as they seemed to supply some of the smaller Granada sets later on in the 1970s & into the 1980s.
Frank Spencer managed to cause a fault on a similar Baird badged 1500 in an episode of Some Mothers Do Ave Em, once I worked out a potential model number, but can't remember it now.
