I have tried to provide a link to an American Prewar TV made by GE in 1939. GE was known as GEC in Britain. HMV in Britain was RCA in the US; so many makers had international operations. It also has a Brute force killer transformer like ALL prewar TVs. The GE American table-top set was attached to a separate radio to get the sound. Original price about $250, or 1/3 of a car.

GEC and GE were two different companies, even though they both started as divisions of the Edison Laboratories.

The guy holding the microphone is doing a shitty job holding it steady.

While it's true the voltages inside are very dangerous the power is literally orders of magnitude below the level that will "reduce someone to a pair of shoes", still, neat to see old tech like that in working order.

Maybe the guy just Spontaneously Combusted. Stuff like that happen back then.
