I am new to all this, although geekery is my thing. I found this model Baird Televisor in the rubbish pile at my university and rescued it.
The display case label told me that it was made for an exhibition called "jam, socks and television" which happened in 1990 at Strathclyde university and which was sponsored by BT.
National Museums of Scotland told me they didnt want it which is nice cos I get to play with it. They also thought it was just the receiver but looking at the various old magazines articles on the web I now think it is essentially a 'closed circuit' all-in-one model with transmitter and receiver sides linked. Clearly intended to give the public a vague idea of how it worked. The discs have tiny tiny holes in the necessary spiral pattern.
The motor works, sort of, but the model is, I think, missing some bits: there are various bracket looking bits between the two discs and also at the side.
I would be glad of any advice - does anyone know this particular model?
Any insights into what might be missing?
