Ceci n'est pas une machine à écrire*

  1. That's amazing. All I can recall of our first family TV was that it was something like that. Big wooden box, chubby bakelite knobs and a tiny screen. And the smell of hot insulation! Digital switchover in this neck of the woods is autumn this year. Thankfully the radio will continue analogue for a while longer.

  2. Fantastic setup! Along the same lines, I tried to get an analogue telephone to work on a now digital line - no success so far.

  3. Here in the US the phone lines are still analogue, so a phone form the 30s will probably still work.

  4. Wonderful that the thing still works with some jerryrigging.
