2009 Early Television Convention
The 2009 Early Television Convention was held on Friday, May 1,
Saturday, May 2, and Sunday, May 3 at the Early Television Museum
in Hilliard, Ohio. The buffet lunch, presentations, and banquet
were at the Makoy Center, a
conference facility about 2 blocks from the museum. This year we
again had live video coverage of the event on the internet.
Please take a minute to give us your comments on this year's
convention.
The live and
silent auctions brought in a total of about $9,000. This year donations
to the museum from convention attendees totaled an amazing $3,150, a new
record. Thanks to all of you for your generosity. Thanks also to the
presenters, those who brought displays, and everyone who helped make
the convention a success.
On display at
this year's convention:
Jerome Halphen presented a slide show about the CRT rebuilding process
at RACS |
Chuck Pharis
arrived early at the Convention early to get a TK-30 camera
working. Unfortunately, there were too many bad capacitors
for him to get the camera working. Next year we hope he can
finish the project. |
Cliff Benham
displayed a CBS field sequential set using a tri-color CRT but
no wheel, a small two-color set with a wheel, and a three
color field sequential set. |
Pete Deksnis had a plug-'n-play version of the
composite interface adaptor we used at the '07 convention. |
Gary Davis had his
two vidicon tube color camera, which he gave a presentation
