[NJARC] Youtube TV history goodies

[Alex Magoun]

I haven't seen any postings on these, and just received the link to the
Zworykin clip featuring me from TV collector Nat Pendleton:

other selections led to the revelation of any number of Youtube clips of
pre-1940 TVs, some restored from across Europe and some fascinating
newsreels and promos featuring some early 1939 "kineys"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHnamytBGaY

A little more browsing led to postwar Soviet TV.  Check out this version of
RCA's 621TS, a pre-war design that the Russians obtained in either the
pre-war or post-war licensing agreement:

c. 1952, and various German and British sets.  Yow!
