British TV With Magnifier
At the St. Fagans Museum in Cardiff, Wales, they have a row house with a number of apartments, each one from a different era starting back in the 1700s. The apartment for the 1950s has a British television and a screen magnifier. I guess the person staging this exhibit didn't know that the magnifier needed to be very close to the CRT.
Oh well, separating the magnifier made for a better picture of the magnifier. |

Maybe they keep it far away so they can turn the knobs before watching.

At least the TV is right for the period. It's a Bush TV24.

Dunno WHY they wanted a magnifier in the 1st place... TV looks to be a 12-14" set, anyhow... Uber-slick salesguy ?

Look you gotta keep the magnifire there or else you can't automatically kill that line of picnic ants that marches across the table every day at 5:30.

Magnifiers were common with 9" sets in the UK (the classic TV22 is a good example) but the TV24 was 12" and I too don't see why you'd want a magnifier.
