It's a blue and white plastic portable AWA monochrome TV set with telescopic antennas and a handle. Last time it was turned on, just before the shutdown of analogue television, it had a good picture, but the horizontal sync was a problem, you need to adjust the knob on the back now and then. VHF only. If anyone wants it you'll need to collect it yourself from Hill Top, NSW (it's near Mittagong). Otherwise, the valves will be removed and rest of it goes in the bin.

Is it a model P1, like this? http://archive.siliconchip.com.au/static/images/articles/i1024/102416_3lo.jpg (Should have a label on it)

It doesn't have any labels, I looked. But I didn't open it up to see if there was any label inside. I'm not there right now (no internet out there), so I've saved the picture and I'll take it with me on the weekend to compare. It looks similar but I'm not sure about the placement of the controls.

Confirmed that the photo and my TV are the same, except my unit has intact telescopic aerials.

Looks like nobody wants it, will be thrown out next week.

It would be a pity to chuck it. Unfortunately being in Melbourne I am unable to collect it. I do have a P1 that needs a pair of intact telescopic aerials and possibly has a weak tube as well. So if you do have to chuck it, I'll put my hand up for the aerials.

I can post you the telescopic aerials, assuming I can get them out. I'll need to contact you after it's been dismantled, to get your postal address.

They shouldn't be too hard to remove. My email details are visible. Just click on my profile.
