NEW TELEVISION RECEIVERS Four Post-War Models Shown to Distributors at Meeting in New York - - Deliveries Begin in November FOUR models of post-war tele- vision home receivers, designed by RCA Victor engineers, were dis- closed for the first time before the company's television set distribu- tors at a meeting held in mid-Sep- tember at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York. It was announced at the time that limited quantities of two table models embodying television sight - and - sound channels are ex- pected to be ready for delivery to the public early in November. Con- sole models will be available early in 1947. The larger of the two table models, shown on the front cover of this issue of Radio Age, gives a bright, clear picture 61/2 by 8V2 inches. It is equipped with the newly developed "Eye Witness Pic- ture Synchronizer" which simpli- fies picture tuning and minimizes interference from e.xterior sources. The second table model gives a 4^4 by 51/2 inch picture. Also shown to the distributors were two console models, one of them a large-screen projection type receiver which provides a picture almost the size of a standard news- [16 RADIO AGE] paper page. Facilities for the reception of FM (frequency modu- lation) and standard broadcast pro- grams are included. The other con- sole has a 10-inch direct-view image, and in addition incorporates a Victrola radio-phonograph with automatic record changer, standard broadcast and FM radio reception MEMBERS OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNICA- TIONS COMMISSION WATCH RCA VICTOR TABLE MODEL TELEVISION SETS ROLL OFF A PRODUCTION LINE AT CAMDEN, N.

Elliott, vice president in charge of home instruments, said that a program of antenna installa- tions, conducted by the company's service engineers to assure satis- factory demonstrations in dealer stores, is under way. A similar pro- gram, he added, has been planned for the public to provide the most efficient operating performance of each RCA Victor receiver sold. Under this arrangement, factory service engineers will install the receiver and provide antenna, an- tenna installation and instruction in the operation of the set, followed by a year's service and complete maintenance of the instrument for a reasonable charge.
