Baird model T5 'Tele-Visor' mirror lid television receiver, 1936-1937. One of the earliest 405-line 'high-definition' television receivers available. 15" vertical 'Cath-O-Visor' cathode ray tube - the largest screen size available at the time. Priced at 85 Gns. A T5 was used as a monitor in the Baird studio before and during the BBC's 'television trials' at the Alexandra Palace television studios in London in 1936-37. The mirror lid design was necessary due to the length of the cathode ray tubes, almost three feet long, required to create an undistorted 15" image. This set is one of only 10 Baird T5 sets known to survive today.

'Colortel' mechanical colour adaptor, to fit onto the front of the monochrome television set to convert NTSC-compatible monchrome set to colour using a field sequential disc. Made by Color Converter Inc, Indiana, United States, c. 1955. Part of the Donald Fleming Collection of North American television receivers. Accompanying converter chassis is missing. An associated 14 inch RCA Radiotron cathode ray tube is believed to have been included to swap out with the standard and brighter 24 inch tube in the monochrome television to prevent screen burn when using the ‘Colortel,’ which focussed the bright and colourful images on a small section of the screen.
