Hmmmmm. I dunno...It COULD be pre-war...but I don't even wanna think of what it would cost to get it here in more-or-less one piece...Prolly 405 line or something like that, wouldn't work here anyway.

It is from 1947-48. British sets from that era are very collectible. It would cost about $300 to get it here, and you would need a 220 v AC supply (easy) and a standards converter ($400 or so) to run it. There are a number of British sets here in the US with collectors.

Sure looks prewar to me! But I know that Euro sets kept the prewar look later on... The styling is near identical to the prewar DuMont table model. Same as a 1952 Mercedes convertible coupe looks like a '32 Ford roadster, at least somewhat in general body styling.

Here is the prewar 1800:
http://www.earlytelevision.org/hmv_1800.html Many prewar designs were sold right after the war, with few design changes. Flyback HV supplies were not used in most 1946-48 British sets. Often the same cabinet was used. Here is a summary of HMV before and right after the war: http://www.thevalvepage.com/tvmanu/hmv/hmv.htm
