Guys- I have one of those 3" Pilots from '47-48. Used to think that was really something "R@RE"-to coin a phrase-, but there are a lot of 'em out there. Mine does work, & is in pretty decent shape cosmetically, so I guess that's something. Non-collectible-TV-types are astounded by it, lots of 'em don't even know they had TV back then. Kids especially are fascinated by it, 'cause its small & kinda "cute". But even by 1940s vintage TV standards, it's very crude, obviously built to a price. I can't imagine anyone wanting to watch one of these things for very long. -Sandy G.
