From the Wireless and Electrical Trader, 27 August 1960. Page 577.
Pye Group Festival Hall Exihibition.
A switchable 405/625 21" TV receiver to operate on both the 405 line system in Bands 1 and 3 and on the 625 line system in Band 4.
The set had press button change-over from one to the other and covered 51 channels - 13 on 405 lines and 38 on 625 lines. Compared with a normal set there were two additional controls and two aerial sockets.
It certainly would be interesting to discover if this set employed a chassis which would become the V700D which was the first fully switchable 625/405 TV receiver to be sold in the UK.
Also on display the Pye TT1 and in full production the first British made full size transistorized portable TV receiver. Ready for sale late 1960.
