I have to say, I really enjoyed your video, it really brings back so many memories, I also remember having a Murphy TV in my bedroom, it had a flip up panel at the top as well and you can listen to VHF (which bike then included the police). Please keep up the great work. George (central Scotland).

I never knew you could juggle the line hold to watch 625 on a 405 line telly! I bet those who knew went through line output valves at a rate of knotts!

The 2 image split screen effect was what a French 819 line signal produced on a 405 set with no line hold twiddling!

[@t0nito]

makes sense as it's almost exactly double the lines

[@Povilaz]

That looks very sharp! Very interesting!

Even accompanied by the strains of ‘Scotlandia’ 👍

My father was a TV and radio engineer going right back to the early days and the shop he worked for were Murphy, ekco and ultra dealers. I can remember him saying that the "flip top" was a pig of a thing to work on. Do I remember correctly that they had an oil filled line output transformer? The first TV I remember was an Ekco 405 only that I can remember watching watch with mother back in the mid sixties. Later we had a dual standard Murphy with the band switch being two knobs in the middle of the control side of the set. I think it might have been a 141 chassis. Perhaps someone might be able to confirm that.

Thank you for video! And in 1964 could watch BBC 2 at TV sets only with VHF tuners for tv system A, 405 lines with positive brightness and AM sound? Were tv box-converters on sale?

Very interesting video there! I've got lots of 405 line sets in my collection, many restored, no pre RBM Murphy sets though sadly. I like the idea of baseband video straight into the video amp, it works very well. Could you explain in more detail how you get the video from a PC into 405 lines, are you using a video card and changing the code in the driver to output on 405 lines? I've seen that done before. Currently I use an Aurora. Keep up the good work!!

Class work..

[@philtorpey]

Why was it spelt Black Hill on one side of the screen and Blackhill on the other?

[@t0nito]

How can a VCR made for 625 lines record and playback 405 lines so perfectly?

[@johnbrown1659]

Really enjoyed your video. Very interesting seeing 405 line, not much on youtube about that. Can I suggest you stick the phone on a tripod? Gets a bit wavy otherwise.

Now you make me want to try this with a FL2000 Dongle and re-record it into a Mirics SDR and see what NTSC VHS machines will be able to hold it...

[@sh-ig9fm]

What are the names of the videos your watching.

[@adultmoshifan87]

How is one supposed to know what frequencies to tune their tellies to? If you can see this screen, you’re obviously already on the right frequency!
