My beautiful Rank Arena C-1418, a nice Aussie set!

Here's a Rank Arena C-1416. This was one of those "felt sorry for it" sets, but I thought it fit this thread more than the other.

Found in the alleyway behind the local shops all I had to do was replace the power lead that had been freshly cut (probably a scrapper). Otherwise it is completely as found - dust, yellowed cabinet, faded decals and all.

It was made by NEC. Internally it's marked as an NEC PWC-1014. I guess there's a related US model as it's basically a 115V hot chassis set with a built in 240V to 115V isolation transformer.

Heavy expensive transformer is ridiculous, they could have just redesigned the hot power supply input.
