Display of Vintage Televisions

Does anyone remember this event? The HMV901 with its loudspeaker removed is obvious, not sure about the next one but the third is a Baird T5 and the fourth might be another T5. The second one might be an Ekco TSC902. The HMV901 looks to have veneer damage bottom left. I think this must be an exhibition of vintage televisions.

Looking at the men, this is 1960s or even 1950s. Some of the sets may not have been very vintage at the time.

Yes, I agree Jeffrey.

Jac spotted that the second set has its knobs down the side of the screen so possibly a KB780.

I wondered if the fourth set might be an RCA RR359 because its height is about right if the set to its left is a T5 and it appears to have projections on the left and right of its lid. It also has a lid prop on the left.

Do you think the guy in the middle is wearing a small Jewish cap?

Quoting Kevin (McMurdo):

"I've just done a reverse image search. It's apparently a 1949 display at the studios of the Japanese Broadcasting Company in Tokyo. If you look carefully the folks in the pic are distinctly oriental. It's an AP photo archive picture.

Visitors to the television demonstration at the studios of the Japanese Broadcasting Company wait for the show to appear on the screen of one on the receivers, in Tokyo, March 27, 1949. These receiving sets, which will have screens measuring eight by ten inches, are not ready for the market yet. (AP Photo/Charles P. Gorry)

No. Mixture of loose strands of hair and a glint of light.
