My TV project, aged 12 and a half

[Amie]

I hope your brother appreciated all the effort you went to Terry!

[Terry]

I don't know that he did, Amie!

Bear in mind that he knew I was always tinkering about with old radios and wouldn't have known anything about it and the decisions I took to do it in the most economical way. Most of the physical work was done after he was safely in bed so that he wouldn't guess what was going on!

When's the next instalment? I'm really looking forward to Chapter 3!

Great reading, really enjoyed this.

I'm wondering where I got all the info from. I'd been reading PTV for some time but didn't have many books. I'm pretty sure I got Hutson (CTV Theory etc) rather later than that. Didn't have Amos and Birkinshaw until much later though may have borrowed them from library, as I might have done with Hutson's books.

Another instalment. Halfway now. I must also rescan the first couple of pages on the A3 scanner.

I reckon I must have watched "It's the tube that makes the colour" many times. In B&W of course - we couldn't afford a colour set in 1971.

Pages 33 to 48.

And the final part.  I don't know why I stopped there.

Jeffrey,

Very well done! You certainly had a much more complete understanding of television than I had at that age.
