Interesting Emerson 405 line

This is my first post (and I've only got one telly - a modern one!)...

Us here in blighty just about had 3 channels by the mid 60s, but didn't get channel 4 until 1982. Channel 5 (for the 3 people in the UK that can get it via a normal aerial ) went on air in 1997. I still can't get it now!

The only way any more of those channels would be used is by using an analog cable adaptor I guess - not around until the early 80s in the UK...

Could this be a telly someone brought over to the UK from the States, and then modded personally? Emmerson is primarily a US brand isn't it? I did hear of a fellow hifi forum person having an Emmerson tuner that they'd picked up in a carboot sale though, so maybe they sold more stuff over here than I thought...
