Luxor Rocket TYP 11700 SERIE 1 Portable 11 in Swedish TV

Hello everyone, just picked up this beauty in the middle of nowhere in Sweden and brought it back home with me, I like to do some basic restoration on it and if possible to get a raster.
I'm trying to find any information and hopefully Schematics for this TV but so far all I found are a couple of adds indicating that it was made in Sweden around the year 1963.
Most of the tubes are made by Mullard so it could be rebadged British TV or some other major European brand.
Any information you can provide is highly appreciated.

Hi Soliman15!

Thats a beauty, a real good find.
Congrats!
I have a collection of early swedish TVs and lots of swedish TV schematics, I check if I have it.

Mullard is the british Philips company.
Like Valvo is Philips-Germany.
This set is 100% swedish.

I am not sure, but I don´t remember much swedish tubes makers.
AGA made them.

Sweden is a big country with a small population.
They imported much from Germany, a few from Japan & England.
Philips was big, too.

Their own companies are AGA (Stockholm), Luxor (Motala), Radiola (has nothing to do with Philips-Radiola/France) and Prinsen (not sure: Malmö).
I own a 1958 Prinsen TV, but they are ultra-rare and there is nothing on the internet.

Sweden started like Finland and Spain in 1956 with CCIR-television. That means: No roundies and no 14"/70° sets!

Some companies in Sweden badged german TV sets with their name.
Mostly Körting, Nordmende and a few early AEG-Telefunken sets.

Regards,
TV-collector

Hi TV Collecoter,
I'm supper excited for the possibility of knowing more about this set and I'm really happy to know that it is not rebadged common brand as by far it has the best build quality that I have seen.
Thanks

Hi,
I have only schematics of the older Luxor TV sets, means 50s and early 60s.
But I shall ask around!

Regards,
TV-collector

Thank you so much for looking, too bad that schematics for these sets are not archived online, please let me know if ever find anything interesting regarding this set or any Swedish hybrid set from that era as it might be close enough to my set and thanks in advance.
