Britains oldest working television
Britains oldest working television up for auction.

Very cool. Now let's guess who will buy it.
I'll guess Sir Richard Branson |
In Great Britain, televisions are a lot older than ours. We've only been a country for what, 235 years? Our old televisions are nothing in comparison to Great Britain's old televisions!

That TV looks awesome!!!!
I wonder who bought it,they didnt update the article...... What kind of TV is that??? It does not look like a CRT! |
I'm not 100% sure but I think that early TVs had an upward facing CRT showing the picture in reverse and a mirror in the open lid displaying everything the right way round.
It might have been a somewhat more sophisticated method, ie using optics of one sort or another, but you get the drift. Early CRTs were very long devices and would have been difficult to accommodate horizontally. |
Pretty dang cool.

Won't receive a picture. Doesn't have a digital tuner.
