Television (TV), the electronic delivery of moving images and sound from a source to a receiver. Conceived in the early 20th century, television is a vibrant broadcast medium, using the model of broadcast radio to bring news and entertainment to people all over the world.
In this tutorial you'll learn how to create a vintage television with the use of some basic techniques in Adobe Illustrator.
One of the trendier ideas for hiding a TV is placing it behind mirrored glass. You can see it when it’s turned on; but the rest of the time it’s hidden
The First Thing - An Old Sony Television Strangely enough, the very first thing I thought of when I saw Craig Osgood's drawing of an astronaut was an old Sony television. I can't really remember the actual images that I saw on that television, but for some reason I think I remember going around to a friend's house in 1972 when I was 6 years old so that we could all watch something which was far more exciting than any Hollywood blockbuster of today, but which at the same time seemed entirely normal and to be expected by my 6 year old self who had grown up immersed in several years worth of men walking on the moon. This miraculously exciting event was viewed on that small, foreign, Sony device which at the time was unusual in itself because it wasn't until many years later that it became commonplace to purchase electronics and gadgets produced by Japanese companies. I can't remember any earlier times when I watched astronauts live on television but I can figure out the year of this instance because we had just moved from one area to another in San Antonio, Texas in time for me to start first grade at my new school and thus I know is was 1972. ( Yes, I know that I incorrectly put 1973 in the video titles. Sorry about that. I was a bit hasty in trying to complete the project. ) With a little help from everyone's favourite answer machine, Google of course, I have managed to pin down the fact that that was the last time anyone ever watched men walking on the moon. It was the Apollo 17 mission and it seems strange to think that it was so long ago. I was reminded of those moon walking days more recently when my children were excited about watching the somewhat similar, but let's face it, no where near as exciting or amazing, highest ever skydive by Felix Baumgartner which was streamed live on the internet and viewed by my children on a white MacBook. One day of course they may think back nostalgically to that event and the quaint old technology of the day. San Antonio, Texas My earliest ever memory is of when we moved to San Antonio from my birthplace of Denton, Texas when I was about 3 or 4 years old I think. A couple of years later, we moved to the house on the left in this Google Street View screen capture. It looks just the same to me now really, although I'm not sure if that now-cut-back tree trunk was there at the time or if it must have been planted after we left. As an added bit of trivia, after a couple of years living in this house we ended up moving only just across the street to live in that house for a few more years before we eventually moved to the Kansas City area that I now consider more the place where I really grew up. It's a real nostalgia trip to take a virtual walk around Google Street View to see the route I used to walk to school and remember some of the friends I knew when recognising the other streets and houses in that neighbourhood. My elementary school and the outdoor swimming pool are still just as I remember them although the school has changed it's name. It used to be called Sunset Hills Elementary. Whenever I think of that outdoor swimming pool it reminds me of hearing the Earth, Wind and Fire cover of "Got to Get You Into My Life" being blasted through the loudspeakers while we splashed away in the bakingly hot Texas sunshine. To this day I still don't like to go swimming outdoors unless I'm so hot I'm already dripping with sweat. Needless to say that is an extremely rare occurrence in England where I now live. Mix It All Together So my creation is a bit of a video mash up of the memories in my head created by seeing Craig's astronaut along with a bit of cheeky humour just because I couldn't resist, and at least it makes me laugh. Hopefully you will laugh too when you watch it.
Theres no microprocessor control on this G8 !. Philips reduced their costs on this later 22" version by using a moulded front and changing some electrical parts. Engineers enjoyed working on them because of their easy access modular construction ,excellent picture quality when set up correctly ( the H.T, overvolts trip, and beam limiter had to be spot on by the manual to get good EHT regulation) and relative reliability over other makes ,although LOPT and tripler replacement was a regular but easy job on this model. During the colour television boom in the UK of the early to mid seventies there were waiting lists of customers and most of these sets were sold or rented before they had even left the production line. Despite colour television being launched in 1967 many families with limited incomes were watching seven and eight year old monochrome sets purchased or rented to get the 1964 UHF only BBC2 transmissions, these sets were coming to the end of their useful life by the early seventies as the poor quality tubes fitted to them started to fail. The cost of a first generation colour set in 1967 was out of reach for many and production levels were quite low at first as the manufacturers were on a steep learning curve making such complex pieces of equipment . The BBC and IBA had settled into a full colour service on the three UHF stations by the early seventies. Set prices and VAT were reduced as well as the expensive first generation hybrid dual standard UHF- VHF set designs became the next generation solid state single standard UHF only TVs . There was also full employment and steady economic growth up to 1973. This particular period saw imported sets by B&O Tandberg Telefunken Teleton Sanyo Saba Salora Sony Grundig and Korting being sold by eager retailers. The first Hitachi solid state sets came out in the UK at this time and were extremely reliable making them very good rental sets , the pre heated tube model CNP190 tended to take the tube a little off the boil after a few years of use and the tuning presets were not the best idea but other than that they were very good. We were the first Hitachi dealer in the county and had excellent after sales support from the Hitachi rep. who called on a regular basis and helped with any spares issues, but parts were seldom needed for Hitachi's back then. By 1974 Saba Telefunken and Grundig were using multifunctional ultra sonic remote controls on their more up market 26 inch models. The Grundig had one of the first plug in diagnostic check systems at this time, although the module was expensive to purchase. Telefunken developed the PAL colour system for the UK. They were also the inventer of a video disc player in the early seventies but it had a restricted play time of 10 minutes. BRC brands like Ferguson HMV Baird etc. were being rented by Radio Rentals DER Granada and Multibroadcast (Thorn 3000 3500 4000 8000 8500 8800 chassis) but supplies to retailers were not so freely available because of the demand. At one time the Ferguson 8500 was the cheapest 18 inch screen colour set available in the UK . An example of one of their most popular monochrome televisions the 1500 is in the Science Museum London .Apart from valve failures , mains dropper open circuits,EHT trays and a little resistor in the sync separator circuit going open circuit it was pretty reliable but spoilt by a rather cheap plastic cabinet. Like the previous 1400 chassis it suffered from intercarrier sound buzz on high contrast pictures which despite many attempts by various engineers was never completely cured .Many people just wound the contrast back . Another very good set from the period was the Decca Bradford/ Hybrid 30 ( the all wooden CS2230 version was the nicest) which had a valve transistor combination. It was extremely reliable only having about half a dozen stock faults which consisted of occasional valve failure , boost capacitor shorts, wonky width controls , sound or field output failure and simple power supply problems. Telefunken used the same hybrid chassis for their smaller screen models, again in teak or darker wood finish cabinets. Both these sets (Philips G8 and the Decca Hybrid) plus the very nice ITT KB CVC5 models were head and shoulders above the competition for colour picture quality and general reliability. Older engineers will remember GEC and the Pye hybrid models with their CDA panels plus the Bush Murphy sets with the nylon runners inside the mechanical tuners that would break on a regular basis causing tuner drift , the push bar on the Ferguson and RBM mechanical tuners caused a similar problem.

Like a tea-cozy companion to the much darker Twin Peaks, Northern Exposure told a very different story about the strange little town of Cicely, Alaska, where a New York doctor is sent to care for the locals after the town paid for his medical school education. The show is full of witty banter, will-they-won't-they chemistry (between Rob Morrow's Joel and Janine Turner's Maggie), and the quirkiest of quirky townspeople. Northern Exposure is adorable, it's sweet, and it's tragic that it's not streaming anywhere.

Well, wonder no more and check out our list dedicated to the best sitcoms of all time as ranked by audiences and critics instead.
