RCA TRK-12 sold at ETF auction

The highlight of today's auction at the Early Television Foundation convention was a prewar RCA TRK-12 -- complete and restorable -- selling for $6.5K.

The chassis were sitting on a table near the cabinet. Pretty interesting to see those up close. I didn't have the presence of mind to take photos, but perhaps someone else did.

It was also cool to see the RCA prototoype color set and Dumont color-wheel monitor in operation, after hearing presentations about their restoration.

I was there for the auction & presentations, just couldn't stay long.

Maybe people should write their forum monikers on their nametags. Speedboats pass in the night, otherwise. ("Hmm, I wonder if that nondescript guy named Joe Schmoe is the one who goes by Selsun_Blue in the XYZ Forum?")
