That article is chock full of inaccuracies. The set appears to be a Marconi 702, which was not one of the original dual-standard sets of 1936. The article gives the impression that there was a ten year gap in British TV service due to the Crystal Palace fire, which is a bizarre and absurd retelling of history. "Logie Baird and Marconi had separate companies but used the same people to make the sets, but Marconi became the most popular maker." Um, what? The auctioneer also claimed the TV set was a result of British radar technology from WW2. Hop in your DeLorean and figure that one out....
