Color TV In Hospitals

[zenith2134]

First off, let me just say whats up to captainmoody. I remember really enjoying a lot of your threads when i first joined but then didnt see you on as much. And you bring up another cool subtopic here...the shelves themseleves (lol) saw many many swivel wall mounts in both home and institutional settings like hosps and schools. Got a bldg in town that has an early 80s maggie on one of these, looks like crap by now probably ran round the clock.

In the late 1940s or early 1950s, this little 8" TV was marketed in the Detroit area for hospital use. Branded "HOSPIX", it is identical to the better known Arvin model 400T, except for the green two-tone paint job, the HOXPIX logo, and a headphone jack at the back.

I have no idea how many of these were made, or how widely they were marketed. It must be one of the earliest hospital TV sets. Anyone know anything more about the HOSPIX?

OK, its NOT a color TV. My bad!
