First Transistor TV ?

[ChuckA]

I think this RCA prototype might be a contender for first SS, it does use a CRT. I believe it dates from the mid 50's, not positive. Maybe someone else here may have the story line that went with the picture.

I haven't seen this RCA one before Chuck, but I remember a magazine cover with a prototype SS set from Motorola. The article made is sound like it was just an engineering exercise and they had no plans to build them. It was also in the mid 50's but I can't remember the magazine. If I come across it I'll post it.

^Great photo.

My last TV execution was a 1986ish Sylvania Superset 25". Shot it good.

I had the magazine with the article on this, it was a SS Prototype, I don't remember the year.

If I find it I'll post it.
