Sightmaster Americana

(1948 - 15 inch)
Here is a quote from the March, 1949 issue of Radio-Electronics:
|
The Sightmaster Corporation has taken advantage
of the "one-way" mirror to present a viewing screen that
looks like a decorative mirror when the set is turned off. As the
photograph shows, the receiver resembles a period furniture piece.
When it is turned on, the cathode-ray tube transmits the image
through the mirror. Since the mirror is not quite completely
transparent, it is said to act as a filter, reducing glare. The
manufacturer is offering custom installations with the Sightmirror as
well as the standard receiver. |
We only have the cabinet for this set. However, the chassis was made
by Transvision, and it is likely that we will find a chassis someday.
