Made it to Ohio and Early TV Museum

[Big Dave]

Here are two of my three scores. Left is an RCA and right is a Stewart-Warner.

Did you know that there is a very rare radio controlled option that Stewart Warner sold......it would display the speed of your car right on the CRT so you could check if your kids were hot rodding your car.




Can I interest you in several bridges?

And on top is the bag with my lunch in it. Dave, your TV made an excellent (if not very portable) camera platform.

Here's a kinda "quick-and-dirty" stitch. Anybody got any better copies? I ain't no Pete Fasciano, but I'll be glad to give it a whirl!

I must still be a little giddy after the surviving the weekends festivities, so I went and ran off another quick little mind meld of your pics too:

You won't find me in the pics, we dashed off just a little too quick. Covered a lot of miles this (extended) weekend! Had the pickup loaded for all it was worth, with every bump it just wobbled! But, aside from some very small stuff, its all gone. No need to worry, by the time I got home (thanks to visits with Robt.Cikovic & Veg-o-matic) the truck was nearly packed tight again! Only 2 finds at the convention, the Westinghouse "suitcase" portable that shows up in a couple of the pics, & the same vendors little 12" GE portable-$5 each, why not? The museum is fantastic; just great to get to see & talk with you guys. Sorry I had to run before it was over. It may be a few years before I get back, but I would recommend it to anyone. And lastly, extra special thanks to Steve McVoy who I bet doesn't have time to enjoy these things like he should. Good show!

Wonder who the unfortunate lady was who got stuck putting up with a bunch of crazy old guys w/this strange hobby? Oddly enough, she looks almost happy....-Sandy G.

The Lady on the right is Edna Yanczer, and next to her in the green jacket is husband Peter Yanczer, mechanical TV expert and constructor extraordinaire. As you surmise, Edna is pretty extraordinaire herself in putting up with us "TV nuts".

She is very into her husbands work. I had the pleasure of eating dinner with them. She was wearing a Felix the Cat pin on her jacket. They are off to a radio convention to give a talk and show off his television sets. They are just wonderful people.

Had to scadaddle too, but I did meet a few AK'ers there., including Polaraman and Bgadow. i got a pile of schematics from him, several of which I needed. Itook several pictures. with my POS digital camera. here they are::::

one, is an attempt at a picture of a mechanical mirror-screw tv setup. in person, the picture was not that bad, a little flicker, but recognizable.


Next, is a nice, restored CTC4, showing the Wizard of OZ. The picture is NOT fuzzy, that is this POS camera's fault.


The next few pictures are of a HUGE setup of camera tubes, ranging fromearly image dissector and Iconoscope tubes, to modern minature vidicons

Start young so you can collect more !!!

[mbates14]

LOL. I cant right now, because we are moving. mom forclosed the house mortgage, and everytime I bring a TV in, she yells at me.

if your 18, and you have been for decades, well, using the add property in math, your not 18 anymore. LOL.

im just your average computer geek, and electronics engineer/tech. I just recapped a sony handicam, all the SMD caps were bad. It brought back memories of restoring old TVs. and this is only made in 90! horrible technology.


what makes it special, is im into this at a very young age. Well, back in the 50s 60s and 70s im sure about 5/10s of the young people were in that stuff. But now, maybe 1 out of a million young kids are into electronics. most of them are into computers nowadays. Around this area, they are either in jail or dopehead.s

Whats even more sad, is im the only one in teh entire family to persue a collage education. Even so, im not making it very far, because my math skills just plain suck, and im getting hammered with it.
