TV extravaganza day 10th Sept. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Heatercathodeshort · 30th Mar 2016, 3:13 pm

The 405 line television service was opened on the 2nd November 1936. It was the first high definition television service to transmit regular programmes that were listed in advance in the Radio Times. To mark this occasion the BVWTVM at Dulwich will be holding a TV extravaganza day on September the 10th to celebrate the 80th anniversary of television.
The day will be an interesting one with attractions to keep us all interested and involved.
Vintage television display including some interesting Murphy examples from Mike Barker's collection.
Vintage TV footage
Restoration advice and tips
Your problems solved
Bring your own TV receiver to demonstrate on the museum's new 405/625 RF installation system
There will also be a restoration competition. Don't be put off by this. Judging will be carried out more on the technical result than the polish on the chassis!
Bring and buy
Sale of TV and radio items duplicated at the museum
Museum tours
Food and drink will be available and entry will cost just ten pounds, less than the price of a couple of EF50s!

Hi, that does seem most interesting.
I only wish I was likely to have time to repair one of the 405 line tv's I have so I could try it out !
Good wishes, Peter B
