I really enjoy seeing the Australian and New Zealand sets. Very much like ours...and yet very different. I think the chassis mounting is interesting on that Majestic. Looks like on table models it would have wrapped around the crt but since they had room they let it sit down bottom. Neat.
The Philips color sets are interesting to me because the cabinet style looks old fashioned compared to the set it contains. Different tastes in different countries, I guess.
Who owned Majestic when that set was made? I've seen the name on some Grundig sets. It seemed to have gotten traded around a bit after the old Grigbsy-Grunow company collapsed in the 1930s. One of the retired TV shop owners I know told me that the first sets he sold (probably in '54) were Majestic brand. Not sure who made them here.
