New Zealand made TV sets

Daro - Thanks for the kind offer for a scan of the manual but that won't be necessary. I'm lucky to have a full set of manuals for this chassis. If you happen to find a chassis in your travels, I'd be very interested in having it.

Glen - The Thorn 4000 (4KA) proved so unreliable in Australia that AWA-Thorn started to use imported Mitsubishi chassis for all their TV's from around 1976 on. We missed out on the later English Thorn models.
The Australian Philips K9 had a earthed chassis with a isolated switchmode power supply. Your live chassis K9 must have been a European import.
Did your Pyes use T series chassis numbers? The last black and white sets here used a T27 chassis. The first colour chassis was the T29. It underwent some revisions for a couple of years and then Pye switched to using Philips chassis (KT2, KT3 and KL9) until they were shut down along with Kriesler around 1980/1981.
