I can ask the lady selling it because I have bought the PYE 501A/1 she was also selling
She's storing it for me until I can pick it up after the border closures are lifted

These were her Grandmother's and they have been beautifully cared for

She's in northern Melbourne, Dallas Vic, Postcode 3047

OK ,, ask her for me and maybe we can ship them both ,,Depends how much ..I have a use for that Thorn maybe ,,It looks good

I once had both versions of this telly, the other having the twin rotary tuners. That set was the 63T1. When using the ultrasonic remote on the 63T2 I could hear the squealing coming from it.

These sets were pretty bulletproof and had very simple innards.

Brad , I had one too ,years ago . it was a good set ..

Thanks for uploading the picture

$250 or best offer.
I'm thinking that is a little pricey, but it does look in nice condition

I think she just wants them to go to good homes.

I know some Thorn Colour TV's have issues, which is the reason I'm asking for her.

Well it wont sell in a hurry ... Its a bit Rich ...$150 maybe ,They are not easy to sell 80s sets .. I will give it some thought thanks Steve and Thanks Brad for the loading of the pic so we could chat about the TV set ,,, Pete

Do you want me to offer $150 ??

What year would you guess it was made ??

These are from around 1982. My family bought the AWA version of the 63T1 back then. I think the model number was C6333. It had a woodgrain escutcheon rather than the Thorn's satin chrome one. It didn't miss a beat for 30-odd years.

1986 ? I think ,,, I was going out with a girl in my teens and her Dad gave me one , But what year it was is blur . The TV is long gone and the girl have not spoken too since about then ,,Probably married some " normal " person with no bad Habits ! That didnt fill the house up with TVS and radiograms and piles of 50s junk .

Talk to you about the TV when I see you on Sunday ... Pete

Yes the British Thorn 4KA had put a bad taste in everyone's mouth about AWA - Thorn.

That one is the rock-solid Mitsubishi - designed, AWA assembled Q chassis with the blue-tinted CRT faceplate. Bet it still works.

The 63T2 and the 63T3 are both listed as being 63cm sets with the QM chassis, and having Touch Tuning. U.H.F./V.H.F.

The 63T3 is most likely the A.W.A. version of this set with a different cabinet style/colour.

We only saw the basic rotary tuner models.

Was the remote still ultrasonic in 1982??
