Wintermute Radio Service Shop

Just after World War Two radio shops started setting up for television repair, even before sets started being manufactured after the war. Pictured below is a 1946 shop in New Jersey. The CRT is a 14AP4; the chassis is from a DuMont 180 or similar set. On the top shelf is the test equipment, including a Philco television oscilloscope.

In 1946 you could buy a 9AP4 for $62.50; a 12AP4 for $75, and the "new" 5TP4 projection tube for $70.
