    By this time Thorn had acquired EMI's Radio & TV business, so this HMV is really Thorn's Ferguson 3158 and possibly the Marconiphone 4185 or Ultra 6185 (if they existed). The battery cover lid inside references Thorn.

    In this period many Ultra, Marconiphone, HMV and Ferguson differ only in the 1st digit of the 4 digit Model number:

    • 21xx HMV
    • 31xx Ferguson
    • 41xx Marconiphone
    • 51xx ?
    • 61xx Ultra
