3D-TV and Old TVs

[P3D <HPOSTER@xxxxxxxxxx>]

>>Leroy mentions... Modern libraries don't have obsolete books on TV, but if you
can find some published in the early 30's, the mechanical systems are
fascinating(to me, anyway). Same for early 50's books on TV predicated on live(all 
there was, except for kinescopes*) TV production and broadcasting.



We stock about 100-150 vintage TVs for your viewing (???) pleasure, plus a
handful of early TV books from the 1930s, plus some from the 1940s.I also
wrote a 200 page softcover, published by Wallace-Homestead/Chilton (and
appropriately named "Poster's Radio and Television Price Guide, Second Ed.")
which has a large section on early (and more modern) television sets. 

Plus, if anyone needs info on a TV set: valuation, age detirmination,
collectibility, etc., please e-mail me and I'll send info. 

N.B. Very little is covered on the aspects and theory of early 3D TV, but the
sets and information about vintage televising and transmission is very
interesting....and I know you need reading matter while you wait for the
Realist slides to come back!         Harry Poster


   *Incidently, in the 50s it was common to show "pre-recorded" movies, but
they were on 16mm films, and were projected directly onto the orthicon tube. I 
have a projector in the garage, and it's a 150 lb.monster in Hammertone grey!
