Look guys this is all vastly amusing but does anyone want these
****ing
aerials?

Well it might help if you said where they were. It could be a long
journey to collect a 15 quid aerial.
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?

Na that was Space Invaders (~1977)

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

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.

Have you ever seen a Jaybeam MBM88?
I used to use one on 70Cm Amateur radio, it must have been 15 foot long!
and I think it had a genuine 22dbi gain

A group "A" must be over 10 feet long.

Serious serious aerial i can't think of none better, except 4 of them
stacked
(which is what EME users favour on 70Cm)

They're in Bill's loft, 16 miles from where Bill is. HTH etc.

Yep. A few bob. 25p.

That's more like several millibob, surely?

Nope, 25p is five bob.

There used to be a WMC in Rotherham that had four stacked MBM46s. It was
the wonder of the age.

Here's an XG21

When I was a child it was a lot of money. The local paedophile only used
to pay half a crown.

I was born more than 9 months after D-day 1971, yet still had the value
of the Shilling drilled into me.

1 bob = 5 p.


Purchasing power of 5P now is less than the 1d at decimalisation.

When I started work at PYE TVT I first saw what 625 line could do!,
amazed at how good it was but of course with the Neg going modulation it
did seem less vibrant than what the Pos 405 line did but the detail was
astounding for those times!.

Until they added colour of course. For some years during the introduction
of colour, my TV was a Rank Cintel monochrome studio monitor connected to
a home-built tuner, and the detail was noticeably better when there was no
colour. Some black and white movies looked superb on this setup, and never
as good again on any colour display I've used since.
