ITV of course made things very difficult in the household of the person
described, for it was another box that plugged in. It always had patterning
but no obody seemed to notice much, as the distortion of the magnifier on
the front was so severe it was considered aminor irritation.

Later on of course when real sets came along with those turret tuners
things got much better. all you needed was the back permanently off and a
little bottle of T contact cleaner with a spoout of on it every time the
picture went off then you simply rotated the tuner like the know on a
washing machine a few times and you wer fine for another few days.


There was one s ort of these tuners which was kind of round that were known,
for good reason as Fireball tuners.

Did you mean to type "For no good reason?"
If not, please could you tell me what the reason was?

I have wondered for about that 45 years.

Well, according to the folk who had them back to service them, they did
actually tend to self destruct, ie magic smoke came out.
I never actually saw one though I have to say, but then we just used them
to test IF boards, so maybe we had a good un.
