Old photos of TV's

There's an interesting little set in the background of this picture of Johnny Cash.

Found a few more photos from the family album, here my grandma next to her Stromberg Carlson TV set. I remember that this set had two bands, channels 2-6 and the other 7-13, and it was continous tuning in those bands.



The B&W photo is dated Xmas 1959, the color photo 1960 or 61

It is sad that the majority of pics in this topic were lost.

Anyway, here is a picture that a guy sent me by email some time ago. It is him sometime in the late 60's with a Invictus TV set on top a record player. I have a TV of this same model and he was trying to persuade me to sell it to him, because he wanted to recreate this photo.

Here's a great one in 3-D! To see it in depth, just slightly cross your eyes until you see THREE images. Concentrate and focus on the middle image and it should pop into depth.

On the slide mount is written, "Sis. Taken Christmas week, 1956," it is a wonderful 1950s tableau with the "roundie" television and plastic cover over the chair. Since there is light coming through the window, it's not late enough for primetime, so the program of children dressed in their best (probably singing Christmas songs), is likely to be a local broadcast. Not only a great slice of Americana, but an impressive (or lucky) exposure on ASA 10 Kodachrome.
