One of the BBC ones can be seen operating - with a guided tour of it - 3
minutes into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhfs7FjKspw .  Gerry had it
so as to be able to demonstrate his 405-line sets, including a rather
fine sideboard-sized one (that had belonged to the postmaster-general, I
think). The converter was about the shape and size of a wardrobe - and
Gerry had it next to his bed where most people would /have/ a wardrobe.
The museum continues, in the sheds, but the house has been converted
into flats, so I don't know what happened to the converter (or that TV).
