What a bugger.

Finding this just as we switch over to digital. That'll affect the price

I can see the advantage of only recieving one channel. If you didn't like the program that was on you could switch off and read a book or go OUT. Instead of surfing through hundreds of channels and watching something you can tolerate.

Very informative. Seriously how people watched the Tv then. It has got a mirror attached to it.

So what? I've become used to watching 3 CRT's projected onto a screen via lenses.

Who has the oldest CRT projector working or not ???

Oldest working projector I've seen was an ITT 200 (?) with the phospour on suspended plates facing mirrors -it was a reflector as opposed to a lens based system. That was back in about '96, though.

Oldest working PJ I've had was a Barco Vision 2.

For Seleco the early SVT150's I think were the start - Chris might know of others......
