The 1600s caught fire because of dry joints in the line stage (line linearity coil) arcing. this set fire to the panel which spread to the flammable plastic back cover. Rental firms quickly recalled them and replaced them with reconditioned 1500s which presumably they had plenty of ex rental examples of due to the colour ‘boon’

Circa 1972 when I was a still a teenager I was asked to fix one of the new 24″ models by a local pub manager. The fact that he was asking someone totally unqualified like me and not the person he bought it from suggests it was stolen property. I left well alone. Most of this kind of set in this area were rented by a firm called “Collis of the Midlands” which specialised in Philips rental. Their shop was on my route home from school between 1967 and 1970 but I don’t recall ever seeing a colour model in their shop window.
