Hi all,

I am new to your group☺️

I recently purchased an Astor Royal 25 TV set. I have a passion for all things vintage and I am so excited by my newest find.
From my research on your site I have discovered my Astor was made in 1966, model No. R53L, Chassis series 8-CX.

I would like to purchase a spiral antenna, is this the type of antenna that would have been used?

I would also like to find an ad, brochure (copy or original)…for this T.V.

Also interested in any info related to TV set.

Thank you kindly
Michelle☺️

Welcome to V-R.

Here's a newspaper ad from 1967: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/107035673?searchTerm=%22astor%20royal%2025%22
