Hi to everyone,

As you remember I am in Germany. I am hooked on Australian TV sets.
I just bought a 1959 Kriesler in good condition, but wanted it as a parts set.

I have a 1958 Kriesler console, the parts I was thinking about are not missing in my set. My set is complete and there is no moulding missing.

Now I have a good friend in the Melbourne area who will help me to offer the set.
It is stored in his house.

I like to swap against an other Australian made TV set.
It has to be from a company which is not present in my collection.

I have:
-Airzone
-Astor
-AWA
-Electrosound SABA
-Healing
-Kriesler

What I like to have:
-Precedent
-Slade
-Fleedwood
or ?

It has to be a set from about the same age.
A younger set with cable-remote is not too bad.

Pictures are available on request.

Many thanks for reading,
Offers are welcome.

"Precedent TV set"

That would set quite a 'precedent' importing a Precedent half way around the world!

As I recall, they were lower parts-count TVs, budget-minded engineering.

Precedent TVs were like Ford Cortinas; attractively packaged and made as cheaply as possible without actually being bad.
