In 1990 I took the last of several field trips to the Smithsonian American History Museum. It so happened that they were having an exhibit on radio/television. I ate it up. There was a stack of great table top TV sets from the 10-12" era, all "working" thanks to a Trinitron stuck inside It bothered me for years, wondering if they had scrapped the guts.

I don't really see the point in making an old set work by putting new guts inside. I guess they think people will think it's the real thing and never know. For me it's better to have it unworking and just on display. I know it would be too hard to keep them running with the real guts inside but it could be done if they really wanted to. Maybe not run em 24/7.
The way I look at it, it's like putting a 2006 Ford motor in a Model T driving it around making people think they are looking at a original "T". |
