Cool photos, Al. Your mom's family must have been doing OK if they could afford a DuMont

That radio in the color photo is desireable, too. A friend of mine has one of those. Great pictures.

Well, he really worked for Ballentine and Pabst breweries in Newark, NJ - long gone now. He did Union "stuff." We never KNEW for sure, but in the 50's\60's when you had nice stuff like that and did not even have a high school education - I mean . . . come on! "It fell off the back of a truck!"

I'm kind of curious about what kind of set is in this picture of my mom from May 1961. The other pic is of me, probably in 1985, in front of what I believe was a 1981 Sony Trinitron console. This set was passed on to my grandmother and used until the CRT went weak and was junked in 1999 by yours truly to make it easier to get to the dumpster.

That's definitely a General Electric set in the 1961 pic; I'd say circa 1954. Let me see if I can find an exact match....

Yes indeedy...and that KV2601 was a lot heavier than the RCA, GE and Mags I delivered, drooled over and set up in those days.

Solid wood cabinet maybe? My 1989 Panasonic console has one, and it's rather difficult to even push along laminate flooring. If I recall correctly, that Sony had glass set into the top as well.

Found a few more old family photos with sets in them. The one picture is from a slide and backwards (RCA CTC-12 color). In my Grandfather's house (father's side of the family). My mother remembers watching the Moon Landing in '69 at my father's parent's house on this set, while my grandfather was trying to record it on his 8MM camera. He wanted to get a movie of it b/c my father was in Vietnam at the time.
Second is a DuMont RA-103 in my Grandfather's office. "Grandma!!!! get out of the way so we can see the TV!!!" Ha!

Looks to have A/C over the door too. Not that common then. A/C was EXPENSIVE in 1950. |
