Vintage Prewar Television 1936 Airline Art Deco Recreation:
$950.00

Hand crafted recreation of a very early and rare prewar television set from the late 1930's. I use original parts from prewar radio cabinets along with new construction and electronics from solid state black and white portabletelevision sets to bring back to life early television viewing. This set is typical in appearance of those available in the late 1930's and is intheart deco style. It looks like you just brought it back in a time capsule! It has a 5" diagonal black and white screen and a nice loud speaker. Period appropriate decals, knobs (which are all functional), and wood finishes. The knobs are for contrast, and vertical hold (on the back) - just like in the old days - as well as on/off, volume, channel tuning and brightness on the front. Tuning dial lights up with a mellow glow when the television is turned on adding to its nostalgic charm.
Measurements ( approx): 16 1/2"tall, 18" wide and 12" deep. The set has been converted to coaxial and may be attached directly to a cable box, DVD/VCR player, or a laptop using an HDMI to coaxial adapter which is available from many sources. A 6 ft snap-on coaxial cable and a 3 plug to coaxial adapter are included with his set for quick set up with most DVD players. Last image shows completed chassis prior to installation in cabinet. If you have any set up and function questions please ask.
Original prewar television sets are extremely rare as very few were made, few families could afford one and very little programmingwas available. Most of them reside in museums today and when one does come to market, it commands prices in the tens of thousands. I make these sets because I have always been fascinatedby the thought of television being availablein the 1920's and 30's and what it is like to view one today! If you sit in front of one of my sets and watch a program, you'll know what I mean!
