A Virtual Museum Of Early Televsion Sets

Sure, today you take owning a television set for granted-you probably own more than one in fact, and maybe even made the leap and purchased a flat-screen model already. But, do you ever reminisce about the first set you owned? Do you recall the make and model and whether it was a color TV set or black and white? Would a picture help jog your memory?

If you ever get nostalgic about those vintage TVs of yesteryear, head on over to the Early Television Foundation and Museum Web site, where you'll find tons of photographs of vintage TVs-everything from the mechanical sets of the 1920s and 30s to the early color sets of the 50s and beyond.

And while you're there, be sure to check out these highlights as well:
  • On site articles and external links about the history of early television

  • Examples of original print advertisements used to promote early television sets

  • Photographs of the different types of picture tubes used in the early sets

And more! Who knows? With all those photos of vintage TV sets on the site, you might even see the very first one you owned!
