Hi Polaraman:

Could you post a picture of that set? I believe that the models starting with a K were from 1955 but I could be way off. I have a collection of British made radios and one British TV. It is a Bush from 1953. It too has channel 1 and runs on 220 (actually 240). I have several step-up transformers that I use to run my foreign sets. I got my TV working, at least I think. It has 405 scanning lines and uses all different frequencies than American TVs so I don't know how well it really works. I do get snow on the screen and noise from the speaker!

Again I could be wrong but I think you can get an American picture tube to sub for the broken one. Let's us know if you get the set.

Steve
