Modern Home Made Sets From Old Plans

 

Jack Neitz, a California resident, has built several TV sets from plans published in 1939-41 magazines.

 

 

This is an adaptor to turn a RCA oscilloscope into a television receiver. It was built using the plans in the January, 1941 issue of Radio News

 

 

This TV set uses a 2 inch tube. It was built from the instructions in the October 1939 issue of Radio & Television magazine.

 

 

This receiver is a copy of the Garod model 100 kit. It was made from the information in the Rider radio schematic publications.

 

 

A partially assembled copy of the Meissner 10-1153 kit. It was built from the manufacturer's assembly manual.
