Television in the Home
2 Attachment(s)
A picture of a set in domestic surroundings elsewhere has spurred me to start this thread, where people can show off pictures of their own vintage sets in room settings, whether working or not, along with perhaps the occasional advertising photo on the theme of 'television in the home'.
I'll start the ball rolling with a pre-war Marconi 702, no longer in my possession, and the cover from a book. Steve |

I can't offer much other than a couple featuring the domestic surroundings of others. The second photo I took when visiting FDR's house.

Thanks Peter. Nice pic of Jeffrey.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt? You keep good company! Continuing the pre-war theme, here's a nice piece I had custody of not so long ago. Steve |

A couple from my home. The 15" Ekco T196 has been in constant use for around 5 years without any faults. Like all Ekco models the preset controls including the line and frame hold controls have not needed attention. I think I have used it more than the original owner as it appeared to have had very little use since new.
The Ferranti 17T4 designed by [Hubert Wood] again has been used mainly during the summer months and has given no problems what so ever. Regards, John. PS Peter, Please dump them plarstick flarze...:D |
Re: Television in the Home
John, What is the small portable in the second picture, on the floor in front of the long curtains?
Regards, Alan. |

Nice pics John. It must be difficult to pick when you have possibly hundreds of sets to choose from.
Here's a well-known showbiz family from 1938 or 9. Name the set. Steve |
Re: Television in the Home

It's a Philips 11TG190AT the original Tvette from 1966. I have three of them and got them all working during the imprisonment. They give a startling picture. J. |

Here's another, not-so-tranquil, home scene from around 1953. The gent with a pipe is about to throw a brick at the screen, which lies ready by the side of his armchair - so he must have already been expecting the trouble with interference. He also must have a lot of dough... CRTs were not cheap!

Re: Television in the Home
Maybe there should be another thread devoted to the sets John has not serviced. But are there any?
