What was regarded as rubbish is now worth money again all these years later!
I have a Pye 13U TV (bottom RH side of picture) stashed away. They were used by the BBC as studio monitors and later as props in Monty Python (mostly the 11U). With a bit of work it's probably a goer even now.



The turret tuner has the normal 12 VHF channels, and the UHF position but additionally a square and triangle for the video direct inputs though the one I have does not have the extra components for that function.
