405 Line TVs in Black and
White was the standard when I started in the trade.
Monochrome High Definition TV started in 1938
transmitted
from Alexandria Palace in London.
Many of these old BW Television
sets are now in the hands of enthusiasts. |
I started my working life round
1961, at a TV and
radio shop called RC Wallis in Fieldend Road Eastcote Middx .
TV's like
this Bush TV 80 mains portable were the latest thing in 1958, all valves
of course.
This one still works though the VHF 405 transmitters are long
gone, watching the static on the screen you half expect Richard Dimbleby
to appear. |
|
Another early 405 set of about the
same time made by GEC.
I remember this model well with it's sliding doors.
Again it still works even after all those
years. |

The Vintage 405 line TV sets
below are courtesy of 405 Alive
An organization dedicated to
the preservation and restoration of Black and White 405 Line TV's.
All these lovely old TV's
were seen running at the
Flight Refuelling Amateur Radio rally held at Wimborne
in Dorset.
|
Black and White at its best, these
tinted screens gave the set a magical quality.
Well they did to me anyway : ) |
