Default Re: 1937 RCA Projection TV "gun"

I’ve seen the Eidophor projectors in use around 1980. They were very large and gave brilliant pictures fed from 2” video tape. The screen used was a cinema type about 30 feet across.
I worked for a dealer that sold the Sony projectors at that time and they cost about £7000. The Eidorphor was about £200,000. So not going to be a domestic product, plus you would need a spare room to house the projector and it’s associated equipment.
