G'day BlingBling,

The 6th forum here pertains to vintage television though we don't see a lot of action there. This site may be of interest though it doesn't deal explicitly with what you are looking for.

Our other member who does have a keen interest in vintage televisions is from Germany and he has a few Australian sets in his collection.

Hi BlingBling,

I've only recently joined the forum and hope to help provide some information for people interested in old TV's.

If you have any questions, you can message me or if you don't mind the discussion being open, you can post a question about your collection in the TV forum here that Brad mentioned earlier.

I've sent you an email regarding your TV's and my email address is now visible to forum members if my email didn't make it.
