PYE television
Is this a prewar set? Bidding seems to be really brisk for it not to be.

Kinda looks like a prewar set, don't it ? Wonder if those are pics w/it "on"-looks like a good raster, anyway. Well, even if I COULD afford it, somebody here-I think maybe Tim-said he'd tried to get a couple English sets, & they'd always come in w/the CRTs broken. too bad.-Sandy G.

It looks very similar to the post-war D18T shown on the ETF Site: http://www.thevalvepage.com/tvmanu/pye/body_pye.htm
What's the thing on the bottom chassis that looks like a giant flyback?

Postwar, but a very desirable set.

Nice TV
I'm guessing this was the first English post war set as has seperate chassis which is unique. Also the British must know a lot more about this set than we do, The CRT mask looks altered???? CRT replaced or retro fitted- doesn't look completed???? Didn't really affect bidding price.
 Very large set, these were called Alexandria Palace TVs I believe ----as receives on one channel, hence the clean & simple looking front. The EHT HV supplies could be possibly LETHAL!!!  Very interesting set............

Would be great to get such a set, to tinker with. MOST parts are huge!!!! Very different from American sets.

I'm wondering- Postwar/Prewar??
Some of the Brits prewar sets looked basically same as this set. They also used rectangular CRTs Masks for prewar sets. Could this be a rare prewar TV rebadged to sell as a postwar TV set??????????????????????????
