A very lucky find! I recently got hold of some

is also a lot of information on the development of the Scophony mechanicaly

Now that is a REAL television set!
Hurry up and duplicate the set before the UK changes to some
weird standard like everybody here in the US and Canada going
to HDTV broadcast standard! No more analog!
