Is that a Ferguson TX RGB TV by any chance?

I think it 'might' be a Ferguson,they were pretty popular at the time, but I don't believe it has RGB capability, since it just seems to have an RF connector on the back.
I will try and have a look later.
I recently got a Dell 20" display that has composite and SVideo connectors (My 65XE has an SVideo connector) so I need to sort a comp cable for the XL to see if it woks with that. My comp modded 2600jr gives a great picture on that particular monitor.

The RGB version has a three-colour logo in the top right, e.g.

At the back, near the bottom you'll see two DIN sockets, a 5 PIN (composite video+sound) and 8 pin (TTL RGB+sound).

Pretty sure it doesn't have either the logo or the RGB sockets

Nah, it's a PYE. Nothing fancy here!
Wondering if that rainbow accent on that Ferguson was to match the Spectrum?
