A steel chassis full of valves, a metal black box on the right hand side and this fixed to a front wooden board that sorta held the round CRT, and front trim etc....

Lecturer (Who was quite a character) said it was--his words--'Never Twice The Same Colour' meaning NTSC and 110V, VHF Tuner and that it didn't work.....

Cant remember much more about it--but who knows, Swansea College being what Swansea College is--Its probably still there! Maybe I should pay a call there.....

--This set may somehow be related to the time when colour standards were being investigated by both Australia and UK....
Did it look like this 1964 Philips 21KX102A?
