See yourself on Color TV at the Museum in Chicago, 1959

[Sandy G]

I remember they had a somewhat similar set-up at the NYC 1964-65 World's Fair....IIRC, they had a "Moving Sidewalk", which ran you by a gaggle of TK-41s, I guess, & you were facing a bank of RCA color sets-I THINK they were all Roundies, & you could see yrself on Color TV ! But, it looked like nobody had checked the set-up for quite awhile, most of the sets were BAD out of kilter-Purplish screens, terrible alignment, etc-altho they also had a few clunky ol' B&W sets, which were fine...

Thanks Wayne. I had never seen the link and all the interesting stuff hidden in the index.

In the second photograph fourth and fifth from the left was the then Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and his wife. They must have taken the tour on the St Lawrence Seaway which opened in '59.
