Picture of GE 1944 TVs
 

I found a brochure mailed out to GE customers during the war with a card to return to GE to see the new radios and TVs after the war. Here is the GE TVs.

The "trapezoidal" one in front, altho exaggerated by the perspective, is a little scary-lookin'...<grin>

I also like the projection set and the round screen on the TV in the back on the right side. I wonder if these were real sets or only illustration by an artist. The preceeding page had a picture of the camera and the image on the screens as a live stage setup.

They are artist's conceptions, some not based on any known set and some on real prewar models. Clockwise from front: A greatly embellished HM-185; a fairly undistorted HM-226 but with speaker grill that looks eerily prescient of the Crosley Swing-A-View; nothing I recognize; appears to be an HM-171; another figment of the imagination; an HM-275 that went on a diet. The center projection set was probably something "proposed", but the one pictured is doubtful based on any real set that existed up to that time. See also: http://www.earlytelevision.org/ge.html

aww, you're no fun, you beat me to it, LOL.

GE Fantasy...almost real...TVs
 

Don't forget the table top in the back.

It's a concept, which is very similar to an actual GE war-time TV, I had bought about 6 or 8 years ago, resold to collector, which then got traded for radios and...?

It was a table top, with the strangest shaped chassis I've seen in a prewar.

Good Hunting! Harry

PS--I included a couple of stock photos I had taken of it back then.

Yeah, I didn't think about that one. Since it never went into production I don't know if anybody at GE would have thought of it still even back in '44.
