Astor was brought out by Philips in around 1974 just before colour stated, PYE was also consumed by Philips in around 1978 as the last of the PYE's had used Philips chassis. Thorn was brought by AWA to become AWA Thorn, Remember the TCE 4000 chassis & TCE 3504 chassis used in some early AWA & Thorn colour television just before they switched to useing Mitsubishi chassis's which were more reliable then TCE chasis's that they were using at the time.
