Default After 30 years of service....
My Mums old Bang & Oulfsen TV has finally bitten the dust.



Farewell old freind, surprised you lasted this long. Used to plug my C16 and C64 into this when I was younger, and staying at my Grans.

Wonder if the next TV will last 30 years.

Is that the model with the push out control panel at the top right?

We had one of those when I was younger. Ours lasted around the same length of time.

A new B&O TV is proper money though.......

I had even more of a relic for a few years in my Teens, an old tube valve TV that took 5 mins to warm up before you got a picture. I was huge and weighed a fookin TON!
