About this Item

Modern copy from an original 8½'' x 6'' in stapled paper covers [soft back]. Contains 11 printed pages of text with one leaf of illustrations. Marconiphone television receiver Model 702 was made by Marconi in about 1936, when it sold for 60 guineas. Because the cathode ray tube was so long it was mounted vertically in the cabinet. Mounting the tube this way meant that if the tube shattered, the glass flew up in the air rather than directly at the viewer. Member of the P.B.F.A. TELEVISION ENGINEERING. Seller Inventory # 90064
