1932 Rawls console TV on ETF

[David Roper]

I too was surprised, pleased and shocked to see this very elusive set turn up. Previously its existence was unknown beyond some promotional materials, and even those only appeared for the first time on the ETF site maybe ten years ago.

I doubt there was ever much "gathering 'round the set" in the style of early postwar viewing due to the poor picture quality under even the very best conditions...and a lack of programming which was watchable for reasons other than having a recognizable image.
