The 2008 Early Television Convention was held on Friday, May 2, Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4 at the Early Television Museum in Hilliard, Ohio. The buffet lunch, presentations, and banquet were held at the Makoy Center, a conference facility about 2 blocks from the museum.
Attendance this year was just over 100, our best year so far. The entire convention was presented live on the internet. Video clips of the convention can be seen here.
This year, we had a live auction of many of the items from Dave Johnson's collection. Total sales from the auction were almost $19,000.
Bob Galanter's video about CRT rebuilding was shown at the convention. The newly acquired CRT rebuilding plant was also on display.
Saturday Presentations
* The museum had a TJ-48 van on display at the convention. This van was originally used by KDYL/W6XIS in Salt Lake City, then purchased by WGSF-TV in Newark, Ohio, where it was used until the 70s. It was then donated to the Ohio Historical Society. The Society has loaned the van to the Early Television Museum.
