CHRS West Coast Antique TV Event 5/18/24
CHRS Antique TV Event
Date: Saturday, May 18, 2024 Time: 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM Place: CHRS “Radio Central”, 2152 Central Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501 Our annual TV event returns again for 2024. The day's schedule will include presentations, demos, displays of working antique TVs, lunch, and plenty of time to hob-nob with fellow antique TV enthusiasts. To get an idea of what this event is like, take a look at videos of our 2022 event here (last year our video recording didn't work out, although we had an equally nice event): Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvpMQG4ABp8&t=12s Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpONMMRezcE We're putting together this year's program now, and we will post updates here as plans come together. The event is free of charge and open to both CHRS members and non-members. In past years we've had participants from Oregon, Nevada, and Southern California, as well as our locals from Northern California. If you're willing to travel to the Bay Area, you are welcome to attend. If you're not already on our email list and would like to be included, send me a PM for more details. If you plan to attend, send me a PM so that we can plan for the right number of people. If you are interested in making a presentation or showing a technical demo, let me know. |

Our CHRS TV Event is just 4 weeks away on May 18. A nice schedule of presentations is coming together. Presentations will include:
1. The RCA CT-100 Was Not the First NTSC Color Set 2. Restoration of a Newly Acquired 1939 General Electric HM-185 Prewar Set 3. Early RCA Color Circuitry 4. Color Broadcast Programming in the Early Years 5. Showing of the "Real McCoys" Episode "The Television Set" 6. The Farnsworth GV-260 and the "Beam Relaxor" Horizontal Deflection Circuit We still have room on the schedule for another presentation or two if you have something you'd like to share. Technical demos would also be most welcome, as are any sets you'd like to bring along to display, either working or static. Lunch will be provided for a $5 donation. Let me know if you plan to attend so we can plan for the right amount of food. Hope to see you there! |

Yes, the presentations will all be recorded, and I'll post a link to the video about a week after the event.
Last year we had a technical problem and we were not able to record the presentations on video. That was a real shame, since last year's presentations were especially good ones. This year we'll make sure that the video equipment is all working properly! You can see the videos from 2 years ago at the link in the top post. |
