Yes Greg. The very same film you dropped round to collect.

Re: Television in the Home
That's a ridiculous amount of money for the time.
What did you get with your money for an early Phillips /Mullard set? Factor "D" apparently... A pleasing cabinet. A well designed if unusual circuit. A good CRT and valves, but no the normal types that a TV engineer would have in stock. Strange tag strips that break when you try to unsolder components. Components seemingly randomly joined together with little coils of tinned copper wire. Those nasty tar capacitors that go dead short. Obeselete wet electrolytics which leak from the top. And in the service manual, a component layout diagram that looks like it was drawn by a five year old. The folks in the picture should make the most of the entertainment provided by the tuning signal, it may be all they get to see before it breaks down! Cheers Andy

Re: Television in the Home
What type of set is this - causing so much excitement? From 1953.

Re: Television in the Home
Jasmine Bligh on the screen in 1940. By then televisions had become futuristic...

Re: Television in the Home
Yes. The film: Band Waggon.
Here are three more, believed to be from 1939. The sets? Steve

Re: Television in the Home
She's using her youthfully acute vision to spot the first sign of interference. Her brother will be out of shot ready to whip the curtains open ready for dad with his brick. Obviously a common family scene of the period.
I must say that not only do these photos show a period when people on the television got dressed properly, their audiences did too! David

Re: Television in the Home
Three white knobs and four...
But are these sets of different make? Steve
