brand new but very old aerials for sale
I'm clearing my dad's house and there a quite a few TV aerials there.
Ignoring the rubbish, there are some boxed high gain types. These are from the Antiference XG range and the Jaybeam MBM range. All the aerials are grouped. There are also some TC18As. Some of these aerials are from the 1980s but they are still in the original boxes. Some of the boxes are battered, but the contents are OK. These are the high gain aerials of choice if you want a grouped aerial. They knock the spots off wideband models. I was thinking that maybe £15 to £25 would be fair for each aerial, depending on type. If anyone's interested I'll go and note down the exact types and groups. It would have to be buyer collect though. These things would take a lot of parcelling up. If anyone wants to take the lot I would accept maybe £15 per aerial. Bill |

Folk who had bought UHF sets in anticipation often found the valves in the UHF tuner had poisoned cathodes due to years of lack of use and the picture was pretty dire when they wanted it. When I were a lad, there was an unofficial procedure for running the heaters at 120% voltage and putting HT onto all electrodes (except cathode and 1st grid) for a minute to burn the gunge off the cathode.

These are from the Antiference XG range and the Jaybeam MBM range. All the aerials are grouped. There are also some TC18As. Some of these aerials are from the 1980s but they are still in the original boxes. Some of the boxes are battered, but the contents are OK. These are the high gain aerials of choice if you want a grouped aerial. They knock the spots off wideband models. I was thinking that maybe £15 to £25 would be fair for each aerial, depending on type. If anyone's interested I'll go and note down the exact types and groups. It would have to be buyer collect though. These things would take a lot of parcelling up. If anyone wants to take the lot I would accept maybe £15 per aerial. Bill How much?!? www.aerialsandtv.com just up the road from you will do a brand new 18 element aerial for £26 - we bought one this year. |

These are from the Antiference XG range and the Jaybeam MBM range. All the aerials are grouped. There are also some TC18As. Some of these aerials are from the 1980s but they are still in the original boxes. Some of the boxes are battered, but the contents are OK. These are the high gain aerials of choice if you want a grouped aerial. They knock the spots off wideband models. I was thinking that maybe £15 to £25 would be fair for each aerial, depending on type. If anyone's interested I'll go and note down the exact types and groups. It would have to be buyer collect though. These things would take a lot of parcelling up. If anyone wants to take the lot I would accept maybe £15 per aerial. Bill How much?!? www.aerialsandtv.com just up the road from you will do a brand new 18 element aerial for £26 - we bought one this year. These are brand new large high gain grouped aerials, not 18 element aerials. Bill |

Look guys this is all vastly amusing but does anyone want these ****ing aerials? Bill Wouldn't mind one of the Jaybeam parabeam ones perhaps, for group B if you have one?.. -- Tony Sayer |

There's an assortment of XG14s, XG21s, MBM48s, MBM70s, MBM88s, various groups. They are in the loft and hard to get at so I thought I'd see if there was any interest before I went to have a look. It's 16 miles from here as well. For them as don't know where "here" is I'll tell thee; he lives somwear in't Sheffield-Rovrum area, otherwise known as't People's Republic on't South Yorkshire. Is that where they paint the top third of the picture blue and the bottom third green and call it colour TV? -- geoff |
