Perfectly true; maybe 3 band?

[QUOTE=steerpike2;2849182]So is then a dual standard set, 405 line + pal ?

I wish there were some valve sets around here - but since TV sets only went on sale in 1975 - and only locally made ones allowed, the 'antiques' are all solid state. Very boring.[/

Band 1 UHF 625 lines, band 3 VHF 405 line and band 3A. Not sure what that was; before I got the set the standard change switch had been disabled making it 625 line UHF only. It's possible 3A might have been for 405 line colour; the commercial companies were pushing for this but the government insisted colour should be on 625 UHF only.
