Unusual new item in my collection

[Dave S]

Hi all. I displayed this "latest find" at this year's Early Television Convention and it got an enthusiastic reception from the group. I figured folks here might get a kick out of seeing it too.

It's not a TV, just a nice but fairly ordinary laboratory power supply.



But it didn't come from just any lab. It came from RCA's Princeton television laboratory...



...and it has a pretty unique provenance!

I may be a little nuttier than the average collector (or maybe not!) but I consider this one of the "crown jewels" of my collection. Who knows what inventions this little power supply might have been involved in? A real piece of television history sitting on my workbench!
