NOTES
Slimline ? [4K]   Maybe not [3K]
Cor, how slimline !   ... sort of
A sort-of super slimline design. Certainly the cabinet gives the impression of a thin set not short of a modern plasma TV ... well, from some angles . What a cheat !

Not sure of the date of the set. Although someone has attached a label indicating 1972 it feels more late 70's or even early 80's.
SERVICE DATA Not yet.
CURRENT STATE Rear label suggesting the set was a rep's sample [5K]Super clean, in fact the chassis looks unused so maybe the manuscript on the set's rear lable is correct and this set was used as a salesman's sample.

One control knob is missing but it looks just like the type that appear on a zillion radios from the 70s. The wooden supports glued onto the base aren't original but they are a ruddy good idea as without them the cabinet would surely topple over at the first attempt to press one of the tuner buttons.
WHERE
FOUND
Wotton Bassett auction, December 2005, for £2.


Squeaky clean interior. This set has seen little use.

big girl's blouses (aka transistors)"
