The T.V. Repair Shop

i think there is a clue in there locationwise....

What Harrogate?

That video tape may even contain some program that wasn't kept at the time (Doctor Who is a well known example). It's old enough (late '70s). In the interest of preserving old television, it should perhaps be checked, then put back.

I do know someone that has a working Philips 2000 VCR

 

[Potter]

It's not V2000. It's the original Philips VCR format. N1500?

WOW it's all still there then! Lets just hope it stays there rather than in the back of a van

I'm more hoping it won't all get trashed.

Cracking fine, one thing that probably dates it a little older than mid 80's is this:

That tin of paint is a tin of Blackfriar QD90 paint - a metal paint - and this instance I think that is 'Landrover Green' colour.

I don't think QD90 paint was brought out by Blackfriar Paints till the early 1990's - I will have to check with my old man. He was technical works manager at the original factory (the company went bust about 5-6 years ago and the brand & its products was sold on to another company)

You probably won't care too much, it's just I saw that tin and it made me smile. I worked on the shop floor when I was 16 part time in the summers till I graduated.

I don't think you'll get a reply mate, Spiny Norman joined after a link to this report was posted on a retro radio and T.V. forum and he hasn't posted anything since
