End of Spec.

The price at Comet was £79.99.

Incidentally, those of you with Goodmans products may be interested in some information passed on to us by a chap who came to repair our TV a couple of weeks ago. My wife told him that Comet were advertising a Goodmans set and asked if he thought it would be any good. He said there was no way of knowing because Goodmans products were no longer being produced.but Comet had purchased the name and were sticking it on anything they chose, irrespective of where it had been made.

Best.

Robert.
