Kinda hard to sit appropriately in those old armless chairs from the 50's. My grandmother had chairs like the ones in the pic so theres all kind of photos of relatives sitting just like that in our photo albums
  No Halolites though as my grandparents only had a 1955 RCA Victor portable that they used until the late 80's when they gave it to me when they bought their Sylvania Superset. Needless to say it didnt give them the same service as the old RCA as the Sylvania is in tv heaven and the RCA is still playing in my den.-Tony

TV Photos.
It's mis-placed, but, somewhere, in our family archives, is a picture of me sitting in front of our 1950 RCA Victor family tv set, at the ripe old age of 1 year old.
 Won't show if I find it, though, as picture might be slightly obscene. I was buck naked!!

First TV set factory in Brazil
I was surfing the net when I found this photo...it was taken in 1952/53. It was taken on the Invictus factory, which produced the first televisions made in Brazil in early 1952. This is one of their very first models, I believe it was one which was also a radio set.

I was researching my archives on CD-ROM's when I found this 1952 ad. It's the same TV on the photo above.

I suspect all here can be trusted to respectfully veiw a 1 year old child nude. Somehow I think we would not notice the private areas but you could blur it out if it makes you feel better. I think Bill is being funny but what a downer to think that as a society we have to be paranoid about a nude baby. Don't take that the wrong way! I love our society inspite of my recognizing faults here and there. I love everybody and everything, I just wish we could all be concerned with the important stuff first I don't need to see Bill's photo but it would be cute to see a TV where it was way back then. It's frustrating to not be able to add any humor here as someone would likely interpret it completely wrong.

TV in South America
Quote:
However, the standard of TV programming here has been very low, lots of sexual stuff, but it is a little better now. I don't know about the other latin-american countries, but the standard of programming here was very different on the early days of television. Very high level - Shakespeare plays, some short documentaries, lots of musical numbers, Quiz shows, cartoons for kids and sport broadcasting. I imagine that the standard for TV broadcasting here went downhill when the TV set began to became affordable to the masses of the poor and uneducated, no longer being just the rich people's toy it was in the begining. I also imagine that the "liberation" of the morality that happened around the world in the 60's played it's part as well. Very little recording of the brazilian television of the 1950's exist today, because 90% of the programs were live staged, and most of the stuff that was recorded on film was destroyed on fires that plagued the TV stations in the 1960's ( believed cause of those fires is political motivation ), and also, many of the earlier TV stations, including the first one, went bankrupt and are no longer operating.

I am surprised and saddened to know that. I have wondered about such things possibly happening to old video/movies. To think of what was lost is very sad.

Just think... that was back when kids' Christmas gifts were simple and easy to pick out. A little girl with a toy horse... another one with a Monkees toy. Imagine this... today... go out and buy your daughter a Justin Timberlake doll!

I wish we could tell what those kids were watching on that porthole Zenith, Bozo The Clown, Howdy Doody maybe?
That Ebay picture with the RCA sure has poor linearity. The wax paper caps must have been leaking already.

1950 Rca
The picture below is very historic. In the screen of this RCA Victor set is the image of Mister Assis Chateaubriand, the founder of Brazilian Television, making the inaugural speech of his TV station on September 18, 1950.
