Was still going perfectly (no colour TV these days would last as long - especially a Philips!), but we were amazed by how real colour TV made everything. |

| 1134744 | 2010-09-04 23:38:00 | Someones first TV Around1951 I bought an incomplete baseboard mounted scanning disc TV for half a crown from a second hand shop in B'ham. Mechanically they were clever devices, picture synchronisation was by means of a sort of cogged wheel mounted on the disc spindle with electromagnets around it receiving pulses from a power amplifier. Sync pulses were transmitted along with the audio and video signals, all in shortwave band. A neon lamp behind the disc provided an extremely feeble amount of light. Edit: They were the sort of device any electronic handyman could knock up in his shed. F J Camm wrote a how to do it yourself book in the 1930s. |

They were also sold as a rebadged HMV or the other way round. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1134749 | 2010-09-05 09:04:00 | In 1959 I was 12 and went to my cousin's in Auckland from New Plymouth on the train. My uncle had built his own TV (he worked for General Electrics). I remember watching News, Cricket and Felix the cat! My dad got a Phillips TV in 1968 and I remember watching the delayed coverage of the moon landing in '69. Black and white of course. LL |
