If you wanted to be the first on your block to have television 75 years ago, and you were reasonably adept with a screwdriver and soldering iron, then this kit might be just the thing you needed. When you were finished, you would have a set with a 7-inch picture tube, large enough to be viewed comfortably by 10 or more people. You could put it into operation at any locality where television reception was available.

The kit retailed for $159.50, and was geared up especially for schools. All difficult assemblies were prewired, so you didn’t have to worry about getting it into alignment. It cam pre-tuned for three channels of your choice, dictated by which stations were on the area in your area.

While no cabinet was included, it is noted that the 3000 volts were carefully protected by insulation, an interlock switch, and a bottom plate under the chassis. This description appeared in the March 1947 issue of Popular Mechanics.
