When I was in college around 30 odd years ago, There was a 'roundie' in the corner of the electronics lab.
The lecturer said it was a Philips, but it didnt look like any Philips Ive ever seen before--or since. Looked a bit like some of your RCA roundie chassis...
A steel chassis full of valves, a metal black box on the right hand side and this fixed to a front wooden board that sorta held the round CRT, and front trim etc....
Lecturer (Who was quite a character) said it was--his words--'Never Twice The Same Colour' meaning NTSC and 110V, VHF Tuner and that it didn't work.....
Cant remember much more about it--but who knows, Swansea College being what Swansea College is--Its probably still there! Maybe I should pay a call there.....
--This set may somehow be related to the time when colour standards were being investigated by both Australia and UK....

I reckon it's definitely a lead worth following up! Roundies outside North America aren't exactly common beasties.

Can't wait to see it restored to its former glory, displaying the "Glorious Lollipop Color" Roundies are famous for. A well-set up roundie-and a LOT of them never really were- is truly a sight to behold. Ya done GOOD !

So am I! Except I'm not going to post the usual "Wizard of Oz" photograph... More like "King of the Hill"..!
