Moses Znaimer Television; no ego there....

My friend Tracy was up in Ontario this past weekend and stumbled on the MZTV Museum of Television in Toronto. They’ve got a web site with some pretty neat stuff on it, including pre-war mechanical television sets, some of which were barely functional by our standards. The 30- and 48-line systems make our current 525-line NTSC system look like the model of fidelity, never mind 1080-line HDTV. They’ve also got a great section about the ultra-retro-hip Philco Predicta TVs. If you don’t recognize the name, the pictures of the sets should ring a bell.
