Description

Over 150 TV sets are on display in a 4200 square foot area. Displays include mechanical TVs from the 1920s and 30s; pre-1945 British sets from 1936-39; pre-1945 American sets from 1939-41; postwar sets from1945-58; and early color sets from 1953-57. Many of these sets are working.

The Dave Johnson collection of early television picture tubes is also on display, along with early TV studio equipment.

There is a working 60 line flying spot scanner TV camera. Visitors can see their friends as they would have appeared on mechanical television in 1930.

Some of the prewar, rare postwar, and early color sets can be operated by visitors using pushbuttons located throughout the museum.
Also worth to mention is the annual Television Convention organised by the museum. See for more at their website.
