Early Television Museum Help the Museum get its Display Sets Working AgainWith the unprecedented crisis of covid 19 hopefully in our rear view mirror, we are looking ahead to our 2022 Convention. There is one thing however that needs be addressed. The reality of museum’s working TV set exhibits is a little stark. Because of consistent visitor traffic, coupled with a lack of conventions and member participation, many of the sets have stopped working. Over these last several years we have lost several members that were instrumental in helping us maintain our exhibit sets, we also had postponed the previous 2 conventions in response to ongoing public health crisis. This didn’t help. We have several black and white as well as a few early color that need some service. Because of all of these factors we are this year soliciting all members, new and old, who have the technical expertise, to come help us get sets going the morning of the convention. The museum is fully equipped with tools, tubes, parts, and test equipment. Work on the sets will begin at 9 AM on Friday, May 6, the day the Convention starts. I will be there with donuts to supervise. Please help us get the museum sets working again for our visitors! Blake Hinkle Volunteer Coordinator |
