Early TV's Right to left: Mirror-top console with vertically mounted picture tube (similar to RCA 1939 set); mechanical receiver (an English Baird set, the famous metal-case Plessy model) imported for study; various direct view sets. Note the miniature diorama above the woman's head. The museum has many of these showing events in Japanese radio history. The explanations are in Japanese only. [November 2000 - Thanks to James T. Hawes (jpressel@CORECOMM.NET) for identifying the mechanical set] [December 25 2000 - steve McVoy writes: The mirror in lid set at NHK is a 1936 RCA RR-359 prototype.
