When I get grandchildren I will buy one of these tvs, a cane, big glasses and a linen cap and convince them I've watched on this my whole life
That is savege
The sad thing is if i was a little 5 year old that didnt know any history, i might actually believe that
Don’t forget a suit
Be sure to tell them it's a one owner set and you're the original owner.
What a miracle it must of been for the viewers who originally experienced that set in operation. I'll forever be fascinated with the beginnings of radio and TV. How exciting for these inventors.
Joseph, I have to agree with you. Imagine living out in the wide open prairie, sometimes no neighbor for several miles. Radio & later TV gave rural folks a bit of the towns & cities in their home. I love that the word broadcasting is taken from our agricultural past. Truly part of the North American romantic past. During the dust bowl people would give up their cars before selling their radio.
@@maryrafuse3851 Yes. I heard the most important thing about radio in the very early days was to give farmers instant weather reports. Also instant news instead of waiting for a newspaper to be delivered. For younger people, the lastest recordings without having to buy expensive records. It must've felt like a Godsend to them.
your choice of music gave me the chills . i listened to this a lot on our stereo at home when little . victory at sea. when i was little , i lived in glendora ca, and was rumored that mr. farnsworth lived there whilst perfecting some of his inventions . idk how true that was . still a fascinating subject.
I now love old technology more then ever before.
Omg its you
it is insain i love getting a glimps into their day to day lives if you like old obscure stuff look up the first radio broadcast.. and the first television brodcast on youtube soo cool i think!!
Back during the Mad Men era in NYC, when I was a boy, we had a 1961 General Electric AM band radio and a black and white TV set. We considered ourselves modern with a dial telephone too. The good old days when I was happy having those in my home.
I've had TV all my life. The big things I've seen in electronics are the VCR, the CD player, the DVD, the home computer, the smart phone, and the change from CRT to flat screen.
Ugh. I know it makes for a romantic story to call him a "farm boy", which kind of gives people the image of him being a farmer (and many people who repeat the story often call him a farmer), but Philo Farnsworth was a brilliant electronic engineer and scientist. He later went on to develop and patent many more radio and television ideas, as well as a nuclear fusion reactor.
I know. I have one of his reactors in my living room.
Had he really been a farmer, his last name would have been FARMSWORTH.
Well, he wasn't an electronic engineer at 16. He was just another ' farm kid '.
He just didnt do a whole lot of farming.
Gotta start somewhere.
These two things are not mutually exclusive.
Farnsworth was from Idaho, not Iowa. But Lee DeForest, who invented a tube that was a key element in developing television, was an Iowan.
Can you clear this up for me? Lee Deforest is credited with inventing the triode vaccum tube, but John Ambrose fleming is also credited with inventing the vaccum tube.
@@imperial73 -- Parallel but unrelated work, both between Farnsworth & Zworkyn, and DeForest & Fleming. Depends on which country issued the patents and who wrote the history. They all deserve credit.
@@imperial73 Lee DeForest put the grid in the diode tube making the first true amplifier. Fleming used the diode form of the tube directly as a detector in radio receivers which worked far batter than galena crystals and coherers. DeForest was uneducated and never truly understood how his invention worked!
@@imperial73 One of them invented the diode and the other one came out with a triode and many years later GE developed vac. tubes with many element; one tube could contain 3 separate sections off multiple anodes, cathodes and grilles!
GE also produced a first portable 10/12" color TV set before Sony did.
Yes it was farnsworth lets remember
I believe that the earliest cathode ray tubes were green, as is shown here.
He was from Rigby, Idaho, not Iowa.
TV? It'll never catch on! What's next video through a wire?
Especially the idea of touchscreen
Games that you can play on a television? Nonsens I say!
43 years later, Magnavox Odyssey
Electricity...it's just a fad!
Wow, working electronic TV in ‘29. Blurry but still amazing.
lovely telivisor and camera. as a side note, a friend said that philo t farnsworth lived in the town of glendora ca for a while . lovely machine.
Sorry to say this, but - Paul Nipkow, wasn t Russian, but German. He was born at a Place in Pommerania, Poland today, and died in 1940 in Berlin. Baird, who practically used Nipkovs Idea of the rotating Disc, was scottish. It s very unsure if Nipkow himself ever built a working mechanical television.
The audio quality! It's almost like I was there!
It's crazy to think what the TV was like back in those days and what it's ended up looking like in the year 2022. What an absolute change of appearance.
Farnsworth later moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana. The house he lived in off State Street is marked with a marker in front of it.
Most people don't know that before we had black and white TV, we had green TV.
Do I see some footage from "Steamboat Willie" starting at 1:10?
Yup
A modern marvel of stealth technology.
Philo T. Farnsworth was not from Iowa. He was from Idaho. There is a TV museum in Rigby, Idaho near his family farm.
1:49 She's got a face for radio for sure.
1:23 is so Bioshock.
It'll never amount to anything.
good one there hebneh
Just realize how shocked would be 1929 people to suddenly see IMAX 3d movie
1:00 Clearly installed modern electronics in that box. Sure as hell beats having to change out tubes. Still sending the output signal to the picture-tube so it's externally accurate and functional.
EDIT: Oh, that's what the video is about. Pretty cool. Tempting..
Yeah, it has modern electronics, but you gotta keep in mind that that tv is a replica of the original
@@artart9671 Yeah, I realized that after submitting my comment for the first time. Before the first only edit addendum.
Definitely still cool and I definitely do not want to convey that the video misrepresented anything, since it did not. Just as you stated in your comment, the unit is indeed a replica.
My first comment before being revised was wrong. I opted to to add an extra line to the comment because I don't like deleting comments or editing them to the point of being different.
How staring at a plowed empty cornfield changed the world and the course of humanity forever.
How did people of this time to watch television with this mini screen?
how do people watch netflix on Smartphones ?
Philo Farnsworth and Edwin Armstrong are two of the most underrated contributors to our modern electronic world.
InstaBlaster.
@@christianxander7953 ok?
John Baird was way ahead of him.
@@geoffjones5421 Baird's system was ELECTROMECHANICAL. It was a start (and it the first successful broadcast TV system.) It was, however, also a technological dead-end. Farmsworth's TV System was ALL ELECTRONIC and was the basis for how TV would work until the advent of digital TV.
@@jamesslick4790 So whoever invented digital TV invented TV as far as you are concerned?
Richard Rodgers. Under the Southern Cross. Victory at Sea.
The funny thing is that TV no longer exists in developed countries. It was replaced by digital cable. If you live in a developed country where cable is used but have access to an analog TV that picks up signals through an antenna and it still works in 2019, please leave a comment below and indicate what you are able to watch. I would be shocked to know that analog TVs are still supported.
tv still exists...you need a tv to watch digital cable...what ceased to exist in many places were the over the air transmissions
TV is the electronic transmission of motion pictures. I can be over the air, over cable, via satellite or via internet. TV is not limited to "broadcast". Netflix and yes, even UA-cam are forms of on demand television.
@@MrHBSoftware Yes, TV is the electronic transmission of motion pictures. I can be over the air, over cable, via satellite or via internet. TV is not limited to "broadcast". Netflix and yes, even UA-cam are forms of on demand television. I watch UA-cam on a 55" TV.
Can an original picture tube from the very very early first televisions both Europe and the United States be rebuilt to be reinstalled back into the TV if it's being restored such as a Ferguson Telefunken or RCA in zenith
What a genius john beard
That image dissector camera you made, I am curious to know does it use an actual image dissector tube or is it prop with a modern CCD camera inside? Anyhow love your replication of the Farnsworth system!
How was sound recorded in this TV?
Richard Rogers. "Victory at Sea."
Well, that brought tears to my eyes......
Tv sure has changed.
How did that spinning wheel make a moving picture?
(Extremely simplified description) The Nipkow disc, used in early mechanical television systems, had many small holes arranged in a spiral. Behind it was a photoelectric cell. As the disc spun very rapidly, the cell would react to the varying amounts of light it received, causing a fluctuation of current.
In the receiving set, a glow lamp behind the disc would flicker according to the varying current: when properly synchronized, you would see a series of lines which reproduced the moving image.
The mechanical system had extremely poor resolution, though (imagine the size and speed of a disc needed to provide hundreds of lines!) , and required very bright lighting in front of the camera. The electronic system devised by Farnsworth did not require a bulky moving disc, and could produce a higher resolution image.
Super interesting! A question: Does sound like an AM radio or FM radio quality?

@Richard Grosser... I've been looking into Mr Farnsworth's history and I see what he did and I see what you have done there with your replica of his gear, and as a fellow vacuum tube electronics geek (for the past 60 years) I am definitely glad to have seen it. :-)
Your receiver with the miniature tubes and other vintage stuff combined with more recent techniques... and the image dissector.... it's simply awesome. Did you ever sell it?... and, do you have a blog or something describing your Farnsworth electronic TV replica project?
Thanks for sharing, Richard
I was just thinking about the "...it's simply awesome. ..." part of my comment, and got to thinking about how that is the beauty of Philo's circuit... it's relative simplicity, with the goal of achieving nice electronic TV accomplished with just a relative few tubes and other stuff, compared to the "progress" that the design concepts went through during all the years that followed by various other people, resulting in very complicated TV circuits with multitudes of tubes and attendant stuff to achieve that same goal. :-)
Hey can you briefly explain how sound was recorded in early televisions, like there were built in microphones or what?
How old does a radio or television have to be to be an antique sensor weren't radio or and television 100 years ago
It appears that you used two pieces from Richard Rogers' original score for the 1952 NBC News documentary series "Victory At Sea" as the music for this clip.
I love the song about this from NBC's Saturday Night.
Maravilloso video, no sé muy bien el inglés pero igual me encantó.
I haven't watched any off air TV in years, all on broadband
I'm very curious as to how that camera works
nipkov disc regeninng forever but tube is not regening
I was about 2+1/2, sitting on a barber's kiddee plank. The tv was supposed to distract me but it was my first haircut and I cried. Boxing match.
That was in 1950.
So if the video input is wired from those RCA cables in the back...
You could, in theory, connect it to a streaming device and watch netflix on it
Yep!
is there a marked for original vintage designed replica of television?
Try it! Build an antique looking cabinet and slap an iPad in it.
What screen resolution can this TV go up to?
Potato.
Did you use a radar tube?
Did they come in 4K?
How much?
RCA, which was run by David Sarnoff, had lots of money to pay lawyers. As such RCA was able to steal all of Farnsworth's ideas and got away with it. Some things never seem to change. He who buys the most lawyers always wins.
Actually, Farnsworth was one of the few people who successfully sued RCA for patent rights and in fact, received payments from RCA for years. Farnsworth was nearly ruined when his radio set company in Indiana produced a warehouse full of TV sets for sale. The US entered the War in 1941 and ordered television production halted and Farnsworth's sets were rendered worthless for all intents and purposes.
0:21 Paul Nipkow was not a Russian but a German.
Is it still for sale?
Born in 1920 was Amazing
There's a museum albiea small one there in his honor.he got screwed over by
0:59 That looks a little too modern in there... I think that power supply and remote control gives it away!
I noticed that too.
Not a true Replica. Too much modern Stuff
“New old stock”. 😃
Very Cool!
Farnsworth got picked by RCA.david sarnoff
Actually, it was the other way around. Farnsworth won his lawsuit vs RCA. He never got rich, but he made his point.
@@keithelster8858 that’s more the way I read the story also. Also heard that he was dejected enough to where he never wanted to see or hear of it again. He developed a baby incubator.
Only thing I wondered when I first saw TV is when cartoons are on.
Human WHO Born in 1870 and died on 1970 remeber when telephone dont Exsisted,Radio dont Exsisted ,Television dont Exsisted .
Great stuff :)
Philo Farnsworth wan not from Iowa. He was from Idaho.
Thought he was from Utah! His lab was on Green st in san francisco.
Idaho Iowa Utah ... what is the difference..? All those sounds like Japenese word. XD
It's a joke. I admire so much John Loggie Beard and Philo Farnsworth inventors of mechanical and electronic TV respectively. Kisses from Santiago Chile SouthAmerica. (the skiny country in the end of globe).XD
Baird took an older design, the Nipkow disc, and was able to make it work. He was the first to build televisions and broadcast TV programming. He worked on color systems using the mechanical system as well as projection systems. The mechanical system was too poor in resolution to be of any real use, but a number of companies did experiment with it.
He was from Utah.
He was from Iowa and we still have a Farnsworth Electronics Store in Waterloo, IA. It is owned by descendants from Philo.
"Victory at Sea." I haven't heard that in years.
you should adjust the tags to make this video easier to find !! :)

when i was 10 i discovered a mickey mouse show thats from 1929 called steamboat Willie
At 0:59 can someone explain why the fuck is the remote inside the unit
Philo Farnsworth would later found the company Philco
Nipkow
wasn't russian, he was german.
Should have used the Futurama music!
Farnsworth: Good news everyone!
When did porn get broadcast? Every major advance in communication came about because porn could be created without the interference of people who had God on a Rolodex.
Helvi Hautala In the 1970s .
The 70s called and they want their Rolodex back.
I believe the term broadcast tv and the spinning disk came from Farnsworth when he was on the farm Broadcasting seed from a sack while spinning a disk with hand crank with spread-bradcasted seeds evenly across field.
😊Beautiful😊❤❤❤❤❤
No, his system was no better at the time.
After viewing that screen I will never refer to 480P as shit quality ever again. Hell I was starting to see 720P that way next to 1080P and 1080P as shit next to 4K
Tv old
QuadHD HDR10+
And the inventor of the TV, John Baird, help in its engineering with Farnsworth and another German engineer that I am ashamed to say I can't remember the name of!
Paul Nipkow was german, not russian!
WHATEVER THAT WAS AT 60 SECONDS WAS DARN SURE NOT BUILT IN 1929!!!
It said that it was a replica
he was 14, not 16
Kenjiro Takayanagi built an all electric TV system in 1926
Mr. Takayanagi made the first all electronic " Receiver " . His camera system still the mechancal scanning . Farnsworth's total system , transmiter and reciever , was first to be All Electronic .
Nipkow was German not Russian !
Flat screen TVs are bad
Paul Nipkov from Russia ?!
No, from Germany.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gottlieb_Nipkow?wprov=sfti1
to bad it`s not Original , i would have paid 1000 Dollars at least .
IDAHO u fool.not iowa.
Can we play Fortnite on it?
FAAAAKE!!!
Shut the fuck up, go be a smart
Try playing fortnight on that
All lies
What’s the second thing being played
Excelent job the tecnologic
