Hi.
Well some of the old bangers actually worked well. If you couldn't afford or for some other reasons didn't have a fringe area set then the aerial could be improved. Even in the 70's a lot of basic 405 line sets were still around giving sterling service. We were in the fringes in south Ayrshire and UHF was dreadful so many 405 line sets were common before the fill in transmitters started up. Basic sets were often fitted with 30L15's in the tuner and even an EF184 in place of an EF80 would help so long as there was no instability, dodges of course but it made the customer happy.
