405 line television Collection Pt 1

This is part 1 of three video clips showing part of my vintage Radio, Television, and Record Player collection. Most of these receivers have been restored to full working condition by myself in my 'vintage' workshop. A large number of these receivers were presented to me by past customers of my radio and television shop in London. Others were discovered at the local rubbish tip and a few were even found in skips. The 405 line signals are supplied from a miracle of modern technology, the AURORA standards converter. This converts the modern 625 line television signal to the original 405 system 'A'. No modifications are required to the original receivers, the output from the AURORA being connected to the aerial socket in the normal way. If you have any questions about the receivers, please feel free to drop me a comment. Hope you enjoy this first half and you will continue with Pt. 2.

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.

Nice to see another perspective outside of the American versions we were taught in school.
