| NOTES |
This was probably Sobell's first television model. It was first displayed
at the 1947 Radiolympia show but like so many of the televisions at that
show it almost certainly did not until well into 1948. In the end it is
a close run between this model and Sobell's smaller 9" console model
T87 (first shown at the 1948 British Industries Fair) as to which was introduced
first.

| Rear view of pull-down cover. |
Lense that beams light onto back of
screen cover to act as tuning pointer. |
The most unusual feature of the set is the door that slides out to cover
the CRT; the door includes the three-band radio tuning scale, the pointer
for which is actually a light bean projected from under the bottom of the
CRT. |
| SERVICE DATA |
Yep, its in some (not all) versions of the early editions of the Radio
and Television Servicing handbooks. |
| CURRENT STATE |
Electrically restored, though the sound section is not as it should be.
But ... you'd better sit down for this one ... no, really, I don't want
to get sued when you swoon and faint on the floor ... sitting down ? OK.
Well, this set has a Mazda CRM121 that actually produces a picture. No,
seriously, I have photo's to prove it ! |
| WHERE FOUND |
Bought privately for £400. |
