I wondr if they were sent over here without valves, so as to avoid an
import tax? I believe Grundig were caught many years ago doing
something like that and heavily fined.

A bit of a mindslip, I was also looking at some miniature 1 inch display
diameter Mullard CRTs also today. The Minifon peanuts were England make but
HIVAC. As this is rebadged EMI Emidicta then perhaps the sales tax dodge.

I removed the steel circlip and steel washer , both now replaced without
breaking as surface rust only. Circlip holding that quadrant arm in place
and now got that slideway working, latching in both senses. To replace the
drive band needs the "capstan" cylinder anchor, near that point, removing.
Interesting slip clutch inside the steel cylinder , inferred, not seen. One
of those spring clutches , freewheels one way and low take-up of torque the
other way.
