Added a new item to my collection of obsolete-but-beautiful tech.
@johnbrayton This is the model, which has a “1951?” date: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/generalel16c103.html
@mitch Amazing. Could be a fun project to somehow connect it to an Apple TV or Roku — if that is even possible.
@johnbrayton I’ve yet to test if it works. My guess is not; it was just a decorative piece of furniture at our library. If it works (or if I feel like fixing it), yes, I could get modern stuff running on it. There’s a 300-ohm antenna terminal on the back. I’d run HDMI into a composite converter, then through a VCR for modulation to channel 3. Lastly one of those old antenna/game adapters. Because I’m me I have all that stuff. :-)
