Hello,
in the last days, I have fixed the magnifier with some glue, and filled it with water. Here is a photo which shows the set with and without magnifier lens. Note that the picture on the on the lens will be much better with dimmed light in the room. And here is a short video with the set, displaying some historical Sovjet propaganda: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BsVElvtqMQ Kind regards, Eckhard

I'm working on a 1947 DuMont RA-103 "Chatham" a.k.a. "The Doghouse." It's in splendid cosmetic condition, and, it still works... I'm recapping, checking everything, etc etc, just to be ultra safe. What do you say we have a face off when I'm done? I'll play some Universal Newsreels, circa 1946 to 50, with Ed Herlihy narrating, and see whose Dogma prevails... I'm very happy for you...and very glad to see your Set working. LJB

So, tell Me, how did the Soviets "acquire" the Design? Did they sign a License Agreement with RCA, or, did they just copy it?
I know RCA was building stuff for the CCCP pre-war, TRK Series stuff. But, sometimes the Soviets just ripped off various technologies, by espionage, reverse engineering, etc. What was it that Marx said? "Capitalism will sell the rope that hangs them?" Perhaps he was correct, what with the Chinese now holding a good share of the US Treasury... LJB

Maybe one day I will take a trip to Moscow to get me one of this.
I saw a tv set like this is in Romania! It's ownded by Muzeul Tehnic "Ştefan Procopiu" ("Ştefan (Steven) Procopiu" Technical Museum) from Iaşi. I think is the oldest tv set presrved in Romania. They got there one "Leningrad" T2 (which was used, along with "Tesla" 4002A at experimental television broadcasting in 1955 and 1956).
