Hi all. Just obtained from a lady sorting out her grand aunts estate. In excellent condition. Minor faults on varnish polished. Have not done any check of the electrics yet. Even has instruction manual. I am asking for advice as to what year? Lady I dealt with felt maybe 1957?? Any help would be great..Will keep you posted.

If it was made in the first few years of television in Australia it'll only have ten channels. I think channels 0, 5A and 11 were added around 1961 or 1962.

1957 is close. It looks like a 1958 Continental Model 230.
What does the instruction booklet say?
Both TV & radio chassis will have a model code and service information is available.

Precedents are a particular favourite of mine. Simple but well engineered and built, for a budget design.
The usual caveats for a pre-early-60s TV - paper caps and possibly electros - apply. AW Jackson mainly used Ducon passives and Philips valves so good component quality for the time. Transformers etc. were made in-house, using nylon bobbins and polyester wire pretty much before anyone else did, so they are reliable. They are fairly easy to work on too.

Looks to be in very good condition. I don't suppose too many of those are to be found today.

That looks like it came out of a time machine!
I hope the CRT has good emission as that set is worthy of a full restoration.
A very good get.

I'll have the schematic/s.
I'll need the chassis codes for both TV & radio section.

They are rubber stamped onto the chassis with black ink. Often semi-legible.
I too have schematics for the TV but not the radio.
