Yes, and everybody on this side of the pond knows that RCA invented TV, and broadcast the first program, right? LMAO!!

Here's a chronicled restoration of one.

For the uniformed like myself, perhaps someone could point out the errors in the Telegraph article.

I may be wrong, but I believe it's the same set that is being sold.

P.S.: link above ends with a note that the TV was sold at

That restoration is a good read; clearly someone who does it for the joy and challenge, as well as wanting to preserve!
