"Television" on a 1933 documentary
It is just a special effect of course, but still interesting. TV appears around 3 minutes and 40 seconds:

"Transmitting with daily frequency...."
Now THAT'S a long wave!

That's one hell of a tv for 1933.

This is the best they would've had at that time - if you could talk RCA to sell you one of these experimental CRT sets!

Many of these prototype and field test sets were taken home by the engineers after they served their purpose, so some did survive because of this. This particular 1931 set survived in a warehouse in Indiana until being rescued from the dumpster by an RCA engineer who recognized it.

Gives a good impression of a projection set (apart from not displaying any line structure. Perhaps it was film back projection?) but doesn't represent what was television state of the art in 1933.

One could modify an otherwise boring period cabinet like that by installing a small LCD flat screen display. It better be an uninteresting on its own cabinet, though

Just as with the incredible luck of rescuing the set days before it was to be scrapped in 1984, by an incredible second stroke of luck, much of the original documentation and ephemera for this set was obtained a couple of years ago at a pawn shop in Tucson, placed there by the daughter of the engineer that was in charge of this project at RCA.

I see. The owner of the set must have flipped at your find. So great that both the set and documentation have been saved. Future generations will be in awe to see how far back electronic television went. I'm still in awe myself.
