Sorry, tried to do a link of a pic I found but not working, I'm guessing the TV was one of the first models so would be hard to find?

There about the place still, I have lots of vintage TVs , but no Astor apart from a 67 portable. My TVs are mostly 1950s models with a few 60s TVs as well.
But if the people here know what your looking for there is a good chance we will spot one as we are scaning ads and Ebay,,garage sales etc etc,
Pete

Back in the day the ESJ model pictured in your link was to be found all over the place. I recall it in schools and motels.
