My name is Jeff Stevens and I work at SFO Museum. The museum is currently developing an exhibition on the history of television for the galleries of the San Francisco International Airport scheduled for July 2011 through January 2012.

We are seeking San Francisco Bay Area-based collectors of vintage televisions and TV-related pop cultural items that illustrate television history from the 1940s through the 1970s. If you have objects that you feel might be appropriate for this exhibition and would consider loaning for this exciting exhibition, please contact me at [email protected]

Thank you, Jeff Stevens.

For those of you not familiar with the SFO museum, they put on some fabulous exhibits in the airport concourse. I always try to see them and usually take photos when I have time between flights. The exhibits always include good explanatory text to go with the items.

I hope that some folks here can contribute items for display.

For example, here are some pix from their exhibit on gambling machines (some unrelated exhibits from Hawaiian airports also in this group):

Didn't I see a Philco Safari on display there in the last year or so?
