Here is another 3 TV's that I have found on eBay in the last few days

AWA 17" B/W circa 1957
AWA 212C 21" console circa 1959
ASTOR R520 entertainment centre mid 60's

These sets are all local pickup only.

It's a pity I live in Qld

Cool, a working AWA 21 incher. Smart move on the seller to show the TV set with a video image on its screen in the ebay pictures.

No shipping, though shipping half way around the planet would be really expensive (I'm in the USA, near New York City). I could feed it PAL from a DVD player, and we do have 250V here, but at 60Hz.

I'd still replace the wax caps.

You can feed it with NTSC. You have to adjust the vertical scanning frequency and to adjust the sound IF, and then it would work. (This is not the best way - you can use video and sound input in a PAL HF modulator, so you have not to adjust the sound IF).
