We were much more upmarket than that. Our 9 inch telly had a huge water-filled magnifier in front of the screen so that it was really a 14 incher (but with bent edges to the picture if you weren't exactly in front of it).

Hello,

I wonder if there is a TV set website out there somewhere with its very own collectors section.

I can remember going absolutely aperplectic when I got a Joe 90 spy kit for my Birthday. A pair of his special specs, a walkie talkie, and that little gun, complete with moderator, all in their own little briefcase. Wish I still had it!

However, none of those series can hold a candle to Captain Scarlet!

Hello,
Anyone else remember the days when a crowd would gather round a shop window which had a television set switched on & actually working for all to see? The mention of a magnifying glass to mount on the front of the set reminded me of the time when my friends & I acquired one & decided to use the sun shining through it to make a 'death ray'. Unfortunately someone dropped it as we were setting it up & it broke open. Happy memories.

You must have been rich folk did you ever see the perspex covers that gave three colour shades?

Great post, my lovely Aunty Betty bought me the pistol, without the cardboard cut out at jumble sale when I was a nipper and I always wondered what it was as it was very well made. She also got me a gun as I remember called the Johnny 7, which had a detactable pistol, stock, grenade launcher etc, which was a serious piece of kit for a youngster !

Good man! Johnny 7 - I never had one No doubt that goes some way to explain my recent interest in airguns
