Had a bit more time to fiddle. Now got the front aerial moving forward under it's own steam Also wired up some more lighs on the console, so as you turn the knob, different lights show
Had a man from Auntie Beeb here today. The One Show are doing a piece on TV Detector vans in January and are using mine for filming He's having difficulty researching material, even the BBC have refused to comment on a program for themselves[B)]
Some were indeed dummies! I remember as a boy looking into the back of one when the door was opened and it was just a minibus with tinted windows and nowt in it, the post office knew exactly which address`s did`nt have licences so used to visit unlicensed properties to check if a TV was installed and guess what they went in? To be fair though they did advertise in the local press when they were in the area so you had a chance to get legal. Also TV ariel installers had to inform the post office when they installed a new TV ariel at a property so it could be checked if a licence had been issuedquote: Originally posted by Panky
They dont want to let out the secrets, this was a working detector but some where dummies - so some say
Did the filming for the One Show yesterday Trawled round the streets of Leeds, filming in a few different locations. Program is due to go out next Friday, presented by Marty Jopson.
He tested us by putting a TV in a driveway and getting us to find it...
WE DID [8D]
The Detector played up a bit, all the stopping and starting got it a bit warm and had to keep stopping to let it cool. Finally at 4.30 it got into the red and died[xx(] but by that time it was dark anyway. 20 mins cooling off and away it went again [^]
