405 line television Collection Pt 1

[AbuAvital]

My parents bought an Ekco in 57 and kept it going for 20 years because they were waiting for colour to improve.

That's an impressive collection - thanks for posting!

I doub't there would be many homes viewing 405 line TV in the late seventies.  Most of the UK had access to BBC1 & ITV on UHF by 1970-71. By 1976 the take up of 'colour' had passed 50 percent.

Fantastic collection, I have a Tmb272 myself, and still use the fm radio built into it.

I spy a Marconiphone P20B on top of the Bush TV. I gotta make a new B114 battery for mine someday....
