Fascinating about the DuMont. My dad always said that my great-grandmother bought a TV in 1948, just because she could--to impress the neighbors, apparently. She was born in the old country and to her, this was a sign that the family had made it. Except, of course, that Pittsburgh, where they lived, didn't get television until 1949. She eventually gave that tv to my grandparents, as seen here. I guess my dad was right! Thanks.
