2004 Early Television Convention |
|
The 2004 Early Television Convention was held Saturday, April 24, and Sunday, April 25, at the Early Television Museum. There was a swapmeet and auction, presentations by collectors, and a buffet dinner. On Sunday collectors had an opportunity to chat and see the sets in the museum's collection. For more pictures, see the Audiokarma site and Steve Dichter's site. A highlight of this year's convention was the demonstration of CBS field sequential color on the museum's 1951 Gray Research monitor and on John Folsom's 1949 CBS RX-41. Darryl Hock demonstrated his NTSC to CBS converter, which allowed attendees to watch broadcast programming on the sets.
