Unfortunately, even if I do all this I shall still come up short.

This Western Television apparatus has Mr Sanabria's 45 line, triple interlace lateral scan scheme that I understand was very popular in the US in the early 1930s. It is in wonderful original condition!

It's only the scanning disc, motor and cabinet. You will need an amplifier and radio to receive signals.....another $24,995 ? So sell the house, wife, car(s) AND the mistress !! :shock:

The 45 line system sounds indeed very interesting. I wonder if it would be possible to adopt the Video2NTBV software for that system. Gary?

Not that I want to buy that set, buy it would be a nice project to make my own compatible TV-set.

It wasn't sold but a Raytheon Kino Lamp was....for £444 ! That should 'light up' someone's bank balance :lol:
