So here's the deal.
It's a straight iPhone photo. No photoshop. I just liked the idea that kids who are used to flatscreen TVs would sit quietly and watch a set like that, and I thought the folks who populate this board would appreciate that the artifact -- a 17 inch 1950 set with doors -- still has charms. I especially like that they sat close to it, just like I did when I was a kid, even though they never got that close to a set they were watching before. Must be an instinct.
The DuMont is a set I bought for $10 in 1984. After spending hundreds on it and never being able to get a stable picture, I removed the chassis and picture tube and inserted a color set. I kept the original components and was very careful not to make any changes that are not reversible. I did wire up the knobs so that it operates like an original. So sue me.
