Those Famous Ferrographs' -2

A further selection of stills featuring some classic machines..............

This Vortexion (featuring a series 6 Wearite Deck) was featured in a classic 1960s episode of "Dept S"

 

.

 Another Vortexion featured this time in an episode of ITV's Miss Marple. These two stills were taken from the episode entitled "The Citaford Mystery". Can you spot the silly mistakes ? Yep the props dept got this one totally wrong.  Look carefully and you can just make out a Grundig microphone plugged in the totally wrong place where the bias switch should be. This machine was actually being used like this! The Grundig microphone also requires a HT polarizing voltage and they were designed to be used only with  Grundig machines of the period which had the necessary outlet.

 

The 3 stills opposite were taken from an episode of the "Tomorrow People" Entitled The Dirtiest Business - It was originally transmitted in  Feb 1977. The Secret Intelligence Service invade the TP lab looking for a Russian telepath, who
has escaped the clutches of The KGB. This episode marked the start of the 5th series. This episode centers around a BBC studio setup. Now can anybody identify the amplifiers featured underneath the Series 3 Wearite decks ? They do not appear to be  Ferrograph  manufactured. The rack mount cabinets appear to be correct.
