I have a few, but the site doesn't have support for iPad yet so I can't attach pictures D:

The same applies no matter what hardware you are using - e-mail your photos to me and I will upload them to the server. Some members prefer to use image hosting services that they also use elsewhere though images load faster when they are hosted on the same server as the website they are displayed on. Smile

Also, your eyes are under your chin. Tongue

An Admiral set from 1950.

Educational TV started in New York City around 1963. And someone installed TVs in every classroom of my grammar school, and the teachers never used them. You can see that this one is in the back of the classroom.

a set from 1957 or so.

Would like to hear some of those TRF & Regen sets running,
receiving 3HA ?

Very high ceilings in that old house?

In Western Vic, you could get strong AM without too much crowding from 3HA-Hamilton. We listened to it in Portland in 1957 with a budget superhet mantle radio playing "Singin' the Blues" by Guy Mitchell (in the key of F) and "Green Door" by Jim Lowe (virtually the same music Grin but in the key of A)

I go back not long ago and listen to low power Portland Wave 87.9 playing the same 50's music!

Nice picture tube on the RCA 21T8395! Inspires me to get my 21 T364U (1954?) running (has very large cog driven tuner) (foreground)
