Remember trying to improve an old TV by adjusting the

I recall, my old Murphy had about 20 potentiometers and other
ajustements.

Probably lots of them conveniently close to tingly high voltage
bits.

I remember when all the 2ps we'd saved for the telephone became
useless as the telephone got changed to 5ps and 10ps. (This was
of course the telephone box down the road -- we didn't have one
in the house.)

That's posively modern. Before 2ps were used in public
telephones it was 'Press Button A'.

And if you were to pay a visit to Crich tram museum, you could use the
only working Button A/Button B payphone still in operation to make a
call.

What do you put into it? 4d?

It's been adapted to take current coinage.
