Unfortunately, I don't own a complete mechanical set. I have picked up bits and pieces over the years (mechanical mirror drum assembly, daven disk, daven tv amp, raytheon neon tubes, Jenkins Lens etc). I also collect original manufacture litature, booklets and magazines for mechanical sets. I currently have brochures for Daven, Western, Jenkins and Baird.

Don't have a vintage set, but did a homebuilt using disk purchased from Peter Yanczer. Just sitting on the bench lately.

This is an RCA/NBC set from 1929. This was the model of set RCA used to take the "Felix" picture in my avatar.

Captain,
This is my set. There are actually 5 known sets, 3 of which are in the Ford museum and 1 at the ETF. Here are some pictures of it operating, both with an original neon lamp and with a modern RGB LED lamp. |

Seems like an intuitive thing to do, but likely requires some support circuitry.
