Granada's TV Rental Stuff

[Markymark]

We didn’t rent our TV equipment, but I remember our first top loading Ferguson video recorder - my Dad was a steelworker and in the 1980s was insistent on buying British manufactured home electronics and appliances - regularly had to be sent back to Comet for repairs.

Except that Ferguson VCR (8922 ?) was 100% badge engineered by JVC in Japan

Did anyone use Matsui TV’s etc? They were exclusive to Curry’s/Dixons.

A brand name deliberately concocted to sound Japanese, but actually Turkish made I think. Didn't the company that made the stuff become Vestel, who used to badge lots of stuff, notably the Digihome PVRs that Argos sold in the 00s?
