GEC 5444 |
|
NOTES | Although similar in style to the earlier BC5639,
it is much smaller and to my mind a hell of a lot better looking because
of it. Although the cabinet is bakelite, the sides are painted in a wood effect, which actually works quite well. This one had been sat in a second hand shop for a long time. I've seen more of these sets but they have all been in naff condition (one even looked like it had been painted in black bituman!). |

SERVICE DATA | There is a copy of the schematic in the 1953 edition of the Television and Radio Servicing handbook. |
CURRENT STATE | Sound unmolested condtion. The only real gribe is a liberal sprinkling of very timy paint spots which, however many you remove, never seem to diminish in numbers ! |
WHERE FOUND | Second hand shop for £20. Probably a bit too much but better than the £50 they wanted 18 months ago ! |
