brand new but very old aerials for sale

Purchasing power of 5P now is less than the 1d at decimalisation.

Until they added colour of course. For some years during the introduction of colour, my TV was a Rank Cintel monochrome studio monitor connected to a home-built tuner, and the detail was noticeably better when there was no colour. Some black and white movies looked superb on this setup, and never as good again on any colour display I've used since.

Have you got a verifiable source for that info?

Not quite ....

Or you could use three B&W aerials, appropriately painted, for the R, G and B information. But you need the special paint, of which I am the sole supplier.

Didn't they used to colour code aerials (with stickers on the terminal box) for their respective groups?

Is it available pre-dried? My time is valuable and if you offered pre- dried paint that would be really useful.

Bhai but tha' were lucky. Twelve pound were enough for ten pair of good brown boots, 'alf a sheep an all t'parsnips tha' could eat!

Yes, it comes in pre-dried sheets which you can glue on with my proprietary quick-drying* glue. Bit more expensive of course, but that's nothing to a mug^H^H^H man such as yourself.

I was getting about £21 as an engineer.

Three years earlier I was earning twice what my teaching pay was to be, as a stop-go man on the A18. It was six and threpence ha'penney an hour, time an' 'arf after ten hours, and we worked 6.30 to 7.30 every day except Sunday.

Just about. The loft is clean but awkward. Idea! I'll get Paul to do it, tell him he can have a cut (the size of which I will not disclose to him).

Bill

Thanks. Not sure how they measured RPI before Mars Bars appeared :)

Thjats a pretty massive dwelling ...

You could have got through on the banana.

The TC18s will be colour. The TC stood for truecolour.

I installed one (used but VGC) outside last year, it was bought for my father (and loft mounted) in 1971ish. It gets all the required digital muxes in color and even has an inverse(pat.) balun.
