Is this CRT from the 1930's?

***EDIT - obviously you mean Bazil! ***

By "here" do you mean the USA? If so, then GE station WRGB in Schenectady, NY, broadcast TV for the entire length of WWII.

"The initial home television reception over the air took place in Alexanderson's home in 1927, but the first public demonstration and WRGB's birth date was January 13, 1928 as the first experimental television program was broadcast and shown in Dr. Alexanderson's home at 1132 Adams Road in Schenectady, New York."

"Although WRGB telecast scores of "experimental" programs between 1928 and 1939, from a small 12-foot square studio, a more complete and regular schedule began November 6, 1939, generally thought to be the benchmark date for the beginning of modern television. A few years later, when the attack on Pearl Harbor closed down live, talent-produced shows at many other television studios, WRGB continued to operate off a full schedule."

I grew up watching that station - beginning in the late 40's - so it's sort of near and dear to my TV heart.

Obviously that I meant Brazil.

I am perfectly aware of the starting date of television in the USA. Hell, I am so much a fanatic for television History that I can say by memory the starting dates of TV broadcasting in many countries of the world.
