This is a copy of a Baird Televisor kit, made perhaps
in the 50s. It is a working model, complete, but about 1/2 the size of
the original Televisor. It may have been made as a school science
project.
In place of the neon tube is a "Nixie" numeric tube,
made in the 50s. The Nixie is a neon tube with the numbers 0-9 which can
be illuminated individually. By connecting all 10 digits together and
buffing the front of the tube, an area about 1/2 inch wide by 1 inch
high is illuminated.
