PERDIO PORTORAMA MKII |
|
NOTES |
Perdio were a relatively small manufacturer formed
in the second half of the 1950's and specialising in the production of
transistor radios. The Portorama was their first "all transistor"
T.V., although trading standards may have something to say about the valve
EHT rectifier.
Although the predecessor of this model, the MKI of 1961, is often quoted to be the first British portable transistor T.V., they were probably pipped to the post by both Pye (with their model TT1) and Ferguson (with their 'Transvista' model), both of whom had shown "production" sets in 1960. |

CURRENT STATE | Needs a clean, but basically complete with original aerial and battery
cover which are so often broken or missing. However, some of the cores look like Barry the Bodger had a screwdriver to play with :-( |
