Great post.

Was this particular Motorola model designed to handle 625 pictures or was it modified.

What system would it originally have been handling do you think ?

I'm not sure whether 625 had been perfected in 1948 ??

the TV was made for 525 lines but it can handle 625 as almost all B/W american 525lines TV sets, a RF modulator must be used in order to input a European signal. This set is using a RF modulator (Ch 4) and the input is from a DVD recorder/player (RCA connection cable)

Thanks for getting back to me.

525.. so while it is in Italy now it would have been manufactured in the USA for American Broadcasts.

You've done a great job on the restoration and enabling it to playback today's signal.

Well Done !!

This is so cool!!! It's awesome to see people demonstrate their ancient TV sets in working order and to have rock legends playing on the set!!!
