Only half? You must have a lot of space at your place.

I can't see our Kriesler from the 60s though!

I'm back online so I'll be interested to see the new arrivals.

I have one comeing in a couple of weeks yes I will have to get time to take some more piks and I dont have that much room my missus is cranky at me because I'm taking up 3 rooms inc her office haha, (tv collector) I have done some of my TVs ive got to get time to upload them also I have swapped a couple and sold a couple so I didnt get a chance to get piks of them but ill be taking piks of every TV I get now just picked up a nice breville last nite with cabinet and a collaro conquest record player built in very nice unit hope to start it up next week ive been so busy and I'm itching to turn it on haha but all good .

Hi guys got some more pictures of my TVs just the last couple I'm still haveing time issues

It's coming along nicely. The HMV F4 looks to be in good condition.

Do you mean the hmv beale custom cabinet? I was wondering the guy I bought it off gave me a manual he thinks it was the one and it has f1 on it whats the difference ?

Yes, That's the HMV I meant, it might be an F1, they all look similar. HMV made 5 versions of the F chassis each had it's own circuit differences, some quite major. The full model name will be printed on the rear of the chassis (probably in the left corner). If it is an F4 model the code will be F4-xx where xx is the case style. I have a similar HMV without the doors which is a model F4-A3.

I notice you've updated your photo gallery. I can now confirm that your Breville 3in1 does have a Precedent TV chassis in it.

Excuse me Toby, do you have any working consoles that you would like to sell? Only small ones though as I do not have much space but I do have the room for three small console televisions and a few portables. Send me an email would you? Price I'm willing to pay is like $10 or something for a working console with valves in it

Nathan, you would be lucky to get a broken console with no chassis or tube for $10. Most consoles I see go for upwards of $50, and are usually untested (and so would require some restoration to the circuit to restore proper functions).

You might be able to get some of the cheaper quality laminated woodgrain consoles from the 1970s pretty cheaply though, but those aren't usually much to 'write home about', so to speak.

As for 1950's-60's consoles,I think they usually go for several hundred dollars?

Mum and I are getting a console from a re-use center, so it might be late 50s early 60s, the lady said it was a 60s so I am not sure
