1948
Videodyne TV
This rare 12" tabletop
TV was available in both a 10" and 12" version, with or
without FM radio, and under the brand name Videodyne or Columbia.
This 12" model sold new for about $450. By comparison, a new
1948 Chevrolet or Ford sold for $1200-$2000. Magazine ads of the
period refer to "The New Look in Television--only three controls
(volume, channel selector, and contrast)." The CRT is an early
Dumont 12JP4 with reflective coating.
