Making of the CRT
Cossor Courier magazine, September 1936

This very rare English set was made in 1936, making it one of the first sets manufactured. It has a 13 1/2 inch electrostatic CRT.  Except for the grille cloth, a couple of scratches on the top, and an area just above the CRT, the cabinet is mint. The chassis are excellent, with no rust.
