Prewar tv set Marconi 707 from 1938
Loading...
Uploaded by TeslaMaster on Jul 15, 2008
Some footage displayed on a prewar television set from 1938. The original picture tube of this set has broken filaments. In a test, a radar picture tube 7BP7 was installed into the tv set. The scanning coils were driven to their limits to provide a full screen raster.
The design of this television set shows its roots in radio design. It looks like a radio, and it has a radio too. But it is a radio with vision, with image. In these old days, no concrete conception did exist what a tv set has to look like.

@anastaisa100 1) The CRT technology of the time limited the size 2) as did the price and 3) as did the popularity of TV at the time. In its early years, TV was predicted to be a failure and was always considered at the time by the BBC here to be far less important than radio.

I never had the opportunity to see such an old TV in reality... what type of input does it have? The regular aerial cable?

This old tv set needs a standard converter. In this case here I operate it with the Aurora World Converter.
