Links Below are some interesting television links we think you'll like. In a way, this page is redundant because throughout the site, we have pretty much included links to a lot of websites, but there are others listed here that were not referenced in the site we thought you may appreciate. The United States I love Television City and it's great history. Below are 2 links to sites that can tell you a lot more about this historic facility.
The CBS Retireed Engineers Web Site www.cbsretirees.com Home of the world's largest camera collection, Probably THE BEST American site for Television Comprehensive receiver collection spanning TV's entire history Lots of info and depth here, very well organized Lots of early videotape & editing systems information A rich repository of all relating to Philo Farnsworth For those that like the TV receivers, and there are a lot of you, please visit Steve Dichter's, Vintage Color TV web site. Steve has been a great help to me in many ways, especially with his in depth knowledge of KTLA where he worked many years and was an eye witness to a lot of LA TV history. Thank You Steve!
This is a link to one of our favorite sites, Ed Reitan's Color Television History. Ed is a good friend and one of the foremost authoraties on the fine details of color television history. Ed constantly amazes many of us with an almost encyclopedic knowledge and huge data bank of materials he has put together over the years. Here is a link to Chuck Conrad's Chalkhill Media site. Chuck's Texas collection contains one of the cameras in use the day Lee Harvey Oswald was shot and a fabulous Dumont Cruiser bus that came with a pristine Marconi Mark IV. It's a fun site and Chuck's radio station, KZQX is a ''one of a kind' and a blast to listen to.
For a hoot, take a look at this site. It's full of vintage ads for radios and televisions from 1900 till now. Quite good actually.
