I remember that from Ed, Edd, and Eddy... or it was something like that haha;;
relpmeraggy
Besides giving you eye cancer it had a poor quality picture. I bet you can’t even make out my obscene tattoo

ColourBlindMillwright
That is neat. Are you restoring it?
PileOfWalthers
Wooo, a Nipkow disk TV!
derekjohn
Was that one made by John Logie Baird ? He used this system and was the first to transmit images using it.

Yeeahh, Rasta.

It's that machine in "We're Back" Where they can see dreams / nightmares!
promilleken1
Can it run Netflix?
DontTouchMeOrMyLightingConsoleEverAgainYouETCScum
Acmi in Melbourne Australia have a similar lookin thingo. Maybe their info could assist you in your restoration. Theirs actually works.
svtv1
Nice rig
mynameiselliott
What the heck is a crude raster?
lucasCheeseLord
Cool. Didn't know televisions existed that long ago
twilekpinup
I’m afraid I can only give you $10 for it
DukeBravo
Do you watch it through that lens? Or is it like a projector?
lbelli21
i would also like to know more about this question
Emula
and a photo taken with the shittiest camera possible.
IamJustinSane
Must have been horrible to watch poem on.
citizenkayt
Is this anything like an original nickelodeon machine?
Lesbiandez
No it's not! It's the Lazarus! Someone get Casper!
Pegussu
I'm assuming this is what the little kiosks in Bioshock Infinite were based on.
RuffyButt
Assuming the kiosks you are referencing are the one that give you history of the prophet. Those are in fact mutoscopes. Which use a flipbook
morrissimo
You sure it's not a Twonky?
GuyWithoutPhotoshop
Looks cursed to me
bobwilson1977
Glad someone else knows that reference
spiffynidd
That is sexy as hell
ArchieWizard
I love this, and I love you for posting this.
ErnestDoodler
Looks like Claptraps great great great grandpappy.
Keicars
He's actually really depressed
ruint
I hate that robot. I cried tears of joy when his voice actor left gearbox.
Kayayayaya
It's just the Jakobs model.
HunterSgath
Ye Olde Claptrape
HornoTostador
Did you use a 1920's camera for the first photo?
PunnyTiger
more rare than Stradivarius Violins
bobwilson1977
This is the first mechanical tv I've seen in person. That they became very obsolete as soon as a practical CRT came about... few survive
PunnyTiger
That's what I was saying... This is worth a fortune to a collector.
PostmasterG
So what is in the disk? MAKE IT WORK DAMMIT?!!!!!?!????!

Solkanarmy
can someone post the time when you actually see it?
hesei
Please restore this and somehow get it playing Blu Ray's...
SolarPolarBear
You mean running Doom?
TheMastermindInTheCoil
Put Skyrim on it
bobwilson1977
The plan is to get it working again, although for folks today it will probably have an awful picture
ScampAnim
It really will
geonerd
0.1k or 100p?
Drek258
You’ll always have the hipster market.
SuperSunshineRainbow
It would be beautiful to even sinply use it as a tv stand
Pikka
If you do succeed then there are a few of us who demand videographic evidence.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
My dad works with antiques, un-restored items with all the original parts are often worth more than restored items that work.
Jamerperson
You must document the entire process
bobwilson1977
That's hopefully the plan. There's a few guys at our museum whom are engineers with vintage tv experience to get this going
PirateRubberDuck
Would be interesting to watch though.
hesei
It sucks that most stuff from that era was not recorded. It would be incredible to see original programs & commercials on that thing.
bobwilson1977
There probably wasn't much. There's only about 17 lines of raster so what you get is barely recognizable as a picture
GibsMcKormik
I've seen a clip somewhere of a working one and it is dumb idea financed.
bobwilson1977
It's really crude. But it was probably exciting for folks then to see a moving transmitted image
