Oldest UK TV found

It dates from 1936 and still works with the help of a standards converter to change 625 lines to 405 lines! The chap who own it uses a modern FreeView box with it

I thought I'd take a look at the standards converter he has, and it's a snip at a price just short of $1000...

Still, blummin' nice setup they have there...
