Hi Everybody!

Especially for Taz. Here is a picture of my Philips G8 Nouveau 22 displaying test card F. As you know I have been after one for a long time. The set is now my main household TV.

Regards

Gary.

Hello Gary.

Just logged on (the missus is watching Big Brother

)and the title of the thread jumped out at me! What a good picture and classic style. Did you have to do much to get it right?

Hi Taz my better half is watching" Echo beach " ZZZZZ . the set is as i picked it up . The only worrying thing is that it has it"s original lopt in it .
Regards . Gary .

Yeah mate...don't worry about that. You can still get G8 LOPT's brand new. Looks good though. What stand is it on?

System A · 25th Jan 2008, 10:54 pm

It"s on a wooden stand at the moment , but i"m going to approach our local blacksmith with my 550 stand to see if he can make me a duplicate .
Regards . Gary .

Was this set dual-standard or just 625?

I just came across this pic http://www.golden-agetv.co.uk/img/equipment/87b.jpg
which seems to show two sets of BBC1 and ITV1 buttons, so I assume the former.
