Sobell Model T90 9" table top television receiver, manufactured by Sobell Industries Ltd, 1949-50. The Sobell T90 model originally cost £56-14-0. Company adverts stated that this set had a beautifully designed 'Best Seller' cabinet. It was also claimed to be an extremely sensitive receiver 'suitable for fringe reception' where the TV signal was very weak'. As with most receivers at the time, there were two versions available - a London model and Midlands model (the sets were pre-tuned at the factory to suit either transmitter).
