Does it come with HDMI? hehe just kidding, this is incredible! I look fondly on the old Ferguson black and white portable TV I have in the attic. But this makes my ferguson look light years apart!

Thanks for uploading, What are the dimensions of this TV?

[christilbro]

Love Fawlty Towers!! Cool set too.

[supernumery]

Wonderful! Pity we were stuck with 405 for so long though....

@weightfeather1 It may be an ion spot, that old crts had neither an ion trap nor an aluminized screen.

Will it run iplayer

[manxsynthesizers]

I thought, how strange to have such a tiny little picture. Then i remembered that I was watching the You-Tube clip in windowed mode - about 2*3 inches. The future is now.

Is this real? It got a fantastic image!

[SteveLane]

I found one of these in rather sad condition on a skip some years back. Mostly complete including the crt. The glass tuning dial was smashed and it was covered in builders rubble. I auctioned it at a BVWS meet so I hope it was restored.

I am amazed at the treasures that get trashed.

405 lines, thats pretty cool for the date.

[ricarleite]

Damn that is small.

[cazzozzo]

Ion burn :-(

[OrodesIII]

This is a real treasure.

[cowtippingrocks]

that is awesome! Where did you get it?

[ShokaLion]

What causes that darker spot in the middle of the screen, just out of curiosity? Marvellous job on restoring such an old set though..

[ShokaLion]

@ShokaLion Iron burn, sorry, that's me diving in before I watched the whole video.

[NP4Mayans]

Good show. Still entertains after more than 70 years! Everyone should own one!

[murielsartre]

And John Cleese was born 2 years after this set was manufactured!

[franchute63]

Very Nice. Thanks!

[Sonicku]

A circle?

[intelinside1990]

Awesome!

[benjamin308]

Gosh. How rare. Is it unrestored?

[martin2lo]

Hi Benjamin. Thanks for your comment. Yes it has been restored, but the top priority was to keep it as original as possible. Martin.
