Vintage Retro Early Prewar Television Set Reproduction Circa 1930 7 B&W Screen

  
Extremely rare museum quality functional reproduction of one of the earliest television sets known to exist incorporating a cathode ray tube (crt) for the picture screen circa 1930. This one of a kind set measures 20" high, 26" wide, 12 1/2 deep. It also boasts a seven inch diagonal B&W image. Coaxial and RCA type input are present on the back of the set (see pictures). A seven inch screen was considered quite large in the early prewar era.

The tube was very expensive to produce and required a very high voltage transformer to generate an image. This very high voltage in the days of cloth covered wires was a real fire hazard so that most early CRT tube sets produced in the US were 3 or 5 inches.

This recreation has modern electronics so voltages levels to the tube are much lower. In England and Germany were braver and produced more of these larger screen high voltage sets. A set very similar to this one is seen in Charlie's home (with his four grandparents in one bed in front of it) in the original Willy Wonka movie.
