It was not known if the RMIT training set had survived and I was very surprised when it turned up on Ebay. I'm glad it's ended up going to a collector so it should be around for a few more years to come.
I had first heard about this set a few years back. The story I had heard was it was used to train colour TV technicians in the early 1970's. It's history prior to RMIT I don't know.
The back of the set states it was made for the UK market so presumably it had a 6.5 MHz sound IF that was modified locally to our 5.5MHz sound IF. The photos of the set don't show the PAL decoder sub-chassis. Is it missing?
