Obsolete 'Tellye' TV Museum - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

One for all you TV enthusiasts. It's basically a blog format type website featuring old TV's with lots of (European) makes and models listed. There's also some useful historical information, circuit diagrams, and close-up pictures. Have a trawl through it here:

obsoletetellyemuseum.blogspot.com

There's a search box right at the top, and if you get lost just click on the photo to go back to the main page.

Also found an interesting (modern) CRT manufacturing video on on of the pages (scroll down on >>this<< page to view).

The site appears to be Italian, which explains both the selection of sets and the rather odd English.

Indeed, but I guess his English is better than my Italian! The sets shown there seem to be a mix of both vintage and relatively modern ones right up to the late eighties/ mid-nineties. I think some of the more popular makes and models would've made it into the UK market.

Hi Chris, that's a grand lookin' set! Glad the link came in handy.

The featured HITEC set looks to me to be related to the better-known Indesits.
Perhaps it's just the orange plastic cabinet, though.
