S.R.M.

S.R.M. Television, Ltd,. Sylvan Avenue, Leicester [1951]

Unknown (Maybe TT/1)	TRT/1

The first models certainly used a Plessey chassis and is probable that later modesl also used Plessey manufactured chasss. The models were announced in the press as utiliizing Mazda C.R.T.s, however the Plessey chassis allowed the use of either Mazda or Mullard and it appears that some models were also fitted with Mullard CRTs.

The company apparently showed five new television models at the Northern Radio Show in 1952. The Wireless and Electrical Trader magazine (26th April 1952) gave the following description, which presumably correspond to most of the "52/53" models in the above table :-

"A complete new range of television receivers is being displayed by S.R.M., who have also introduced a new 3-speed auto-radiogram with 4- band radio and record storage. All the television models employ the company's new 5-channel 1252 chassis which incorporates 13 valves (plus metal rect.) in a superhet circuit. A.C./D.C. technique is employed, but the cathode ray tube has a separate transformer. A completely A.C./D.C. version of this chassis can be supplied. E.H.T. is obtained from the line flyback, providing 10 kV for the 12in aluminized CRM123 tube. Five models constitute the new S.R.M. television range: a special bow front combined radiogram and 12in television with record storage, 12in television console with bow fronted doors and 5in speaker; 12in console television without doors; 12in console television with 2-band radio receiver at 105gns; 12in table television receiver with 6½in permanent magnet loudspeaker."

Possible other models : RGTV/12A, TT14, TT17, TCD17.

Rear view of what may be a model TT/1. Note Plessey's use of a mixture of Mullard, Brimar and Mazda valves. In addition it is fitted with a Mullard MW31-70 C.R.T. which, given the neatness of the CRT connections, was probably originally fitted.
