Out and about today doing some xmas shopping, popped into a antique shop and saw these three:

Here is a close-up of the Cossor. Sorry; it's only my phone camera:

The two on the top (didn't identify) were about £40 each. The Cossor was £130 I recall.

I asked about old TVs and they have 3 or 4, but not at the shop.

Anybody want me to get anything for anybody?

I'm sure someone will want them.
The top one (with a missing knob) is a GEC BC5645, a VHF set.
The other is a GEC BC6936 multiband set. I think it's an export model (mine came from Aden); it seems to be quite rare in the UK.
