Labgear CM 7026 teletext decoder, 1976, made in the earliest days of teletext when hardly any television receivers had a built-in teletext decoder. It consists of a teak-veneered box with a push-button tuner, a corded remote control, and a UHF modulator for connecting the output to the aerial socket of a television receiver. It has its original packing, instruction booklet, and a brief fault-finding guide. When first on the market the retail price was about £475, which was a huge amount in those days. With the demise of the teletext service, to be able to demonstrate it would require equipment capable of generating a UHF signal carrying teletext code across the original teletext standard. Also includes the Broadcast Teletext Specification of 1967, jointly published by the BBC, IBA and BREMA. Labgear 7026 teletext decoder and related ephemera 1976
