Our 1950's Philco TV On Silent 8mm Film

When I was a kid, my dad said we were the first in the neighborhood to get a television, a Philco b&w TV that I remember well. Here it is in the living room of our home during the 1950's, from my dad's silent 8mm films. P.S. Years later, we were not the first in our neighborhood to get a color TV! - John A. Mozzer

jeepcj5118, this and all the other films were shot on regular 8mm film. I had a service transfer the films to MiniDV tapes via Rank Cintel telecine. I captured the MiniDV tapes into Final Cut Express for editing.
