Ah the days when technology was built to be repaired and last a lot longer than it is thesedays. Obsolete just wasn't a word used often for your TV set.
We rented from Radio Rentals but I think our branch became a Granada prior to the companies merging.
We later purchased an ex-rental set which often went wrong but I discovered could be fixed with a firm smack on the side.
Branding wise the Granada rental chain had a different logo to the broadcaster as did the motorway service stations but I do remember the day when I joined up all the dots as a kid with ridiculous excitement that only a PresHead would gave.
