Lovely little set. I remember the dry joints well. My old boss would tell me off for going around the boards with my soldering iron. If the joints were done well, you rarely saw the set back. Maybe that's why he was so gruff, lol. We also always had a stock of NICADs for them. I do remember a few flat tubes on these in the 90's. BTW I love the little vigniette at the end...... It's nice to see a little bit of fun :) Carry on the good work :)
@@AndyDoz Wise words.... My old boss Tom was of that frame of mind and relentlessly wound me up because I was so uptight and serious as a young man.... Thank heavens I relaxed a bit!!
6:226:23 That's a 14" 37cm tube set not a 16" which would be 42cm as denoted by the model details also the 16" had hand holds in the sides of the cabinet . Looks in nice condition just like I remember unboxing them when new in the 80s. CTX e = European CTXs =Singapore I think
So, did that come out after the 16" portable that used the KT3 chassis? The styling looks older than the KT3, but I bought my first KT3 in about 1981 - brand spanking new from Valance's...... Do you remember them? I should still have a couple of KT3s kicking about somewhere - one of granddad's favourites, and I'm pretty sure I've had more than one or two of these ones pass through my hands, trying to earn a shilling or two to ease my passage through university.
Nice clean set 👍
That looks familiar, although my recollection was that ours was the 14" version. Philips / Pye made some excellent sets back then.
ooh thats a nice chunky set
Nice set! Dust in the tea? No bueno!

My late friend Roger always used to say "Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive"

I've a few of them sets from portable to 20in
It has a Philips CTX Chassis they where very good
Philip's dry joints go back to their PCB transistor radios in the 60s not to sure why their production process was flawed in this way.

Oh yeah, weird how it looks bigger than the 14" TX9 from last week

Oh, by the way...... Try drinking coffee instead, the dust isn't as noticeable!🤢🤦😁😬
I’d be interested in purchase, when will you be selling it
I advertised it on Facebook. It sold last week, sorry
