Granada's TV Rental Stuff

[London Lite]

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.

My secondary school had Matsui 14" CRT portables.

I haven't had a Vestel set since the final CRT from Beko I owned in the noughties. Otherwise it's been LG or Philips, the latter a budget £200 set that is 1920x1080 but the picture is nearly as good as my old LG.

However as Neil mentions, there are plenty of happy customers with Vestel sets badged under numerous brands.
