A working television based on Baird's original - the only mechanical TV in regular production?

John Logie Baird devised the first practical television in the late 1920s (he described this as a televisor).

This kit contains all the parts needed to make a televisor that works in much the same way as the original televisor and will allow you to experience TV as it was then.

TV footage is encoded on a CD included in this kit. Simply plug the televisor into a CD player and play the CD to view the footage. Approximate size: 260 x 195 x 70mm.

Requires 4 x AA size batteries.

If you have lost your Televisor CD you can download the content HERE and burn your own audio CD.

If your CD does not produce an image on your televisor, try downloading THIS INVERTED SET OF FILES then burn your own audio CD.

Mindsets Ltd. gratefully acknowledges the help and support provided by Prof. Klaas Robers in producing an improved set of NBTV video and audio files.

Our kits are for educational use under adult supervision or for the 14 years plus age group.
