Color tv set on British e bay?

Hello,

please can you check 'bay #200079904837. Is this an Admiral color tv set? I assume it when seeing the yoke assembly.

Looks like a B&W set to me. Althought the picture is not very good, I can not see any convergence assemblies on the neck of the tube, but I doo see what looks like the focus coil. Pretty sure it is an early B&W set.

think that is a 1951 set. It should have a 19AP4 in it judging by the mask. Definitely not color though.

Black & White set from ~1951 with a 19AP4. (so the motion is carried )

The only question is why did it cross the pond? Well, that and is it modified for 405.

Not color.

Nice to see our cousins in the UK are as inept at photography as we are...

Oh, I believe, it's just coming out of the chimney (see background)

I guess it was probably brought over when someone moved from the USA to the UK. They didn't know it wouldn't work it in the UK. That has been the case with the few USA and Japanese sets I have found here in Australia (though I've only found 70-80s color sets). None that I saw were ever modified for use here. At the time I left them, but now I wish I had picked them up. I doubt I'll ever see another Portacolor here.

I did pick up a little 14" Japanese Hitachi set in a red plastic case that matches my original Japanese Famicom.

No kidding! Where did they take those pictures? Looks like that house was abandoned during the black plague!

Ding! Ding! Bring out yer dead!
