Hyrbid B&W sets were quite common around here in the late 60s and early 70s. This is the first time I've seen this particular chassis, but as a kid I kept finding the same hybrid chassis in everything from 17" portables to 25" consoles from Philips, Healing and Pye.

This sets fate hasn't been decided yet. I may get it up and running after all. My only concern is that I really don't have the space to keep more than one of these (I live in a 40 square meter 1 bedroom flat) and I've yet to find anyone locally who has any interest in these sets even after all the hard work is done.

If I had more space I would have picked up some of other stuff I saw while out making my rounds. The late 70s color sets I saw aren't nearly as interesting as your all tube color sets, or the early PAL sets from Europe with hyrbid chassis and delta CRTs, but I doubt anyone is bothering to save them.
