1935 Model 95 Emyvisior - 8 inch vision only

This set was made in 1936, and only ten were manufactured. Three survive today, one with a replica cabinet. It produced a 180 line picture, using a mechanical camera. The picture tube is about 4 inches in diameter, and a magnifying lens is used to increase the size of the screen. A model 965 Emyvisior with an 8 inch screen and sound was also manufactured.
