Default What TV is this?

Looking at something I originally taped in 1983, Heinz Wolfe went back to 1948 to see what the changes were for the man in the street. At one point he is operating this TV, any one know what it is? To think that when he was demonstrating it, 405 lines were still being transmitted.

Looks like a Marconi 709.

Yup, that be it. Swap the numbers round and you have the HMV equivalent: the 907.

I've come across the 907 more often than (to my eye) the more attractive 709, though according to http://www.earlytelevision.org/database_prewar.html similar numbers survive.
