the early tvs had small screens but used vacuum tubes instead of all the circuitry we have today, meaning that the cabinet holding the electronics had to be huge~ a little bigger than the size of a washing machine today!. it may be hard to imagine for you, but a typical home radio in the 30's was only slightly smaller than this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Screen diameters varied a great deal - as low as 7 inches to 21 inches for the 1958 RCA color set!. I think we had a 14 inch black and white then - mid 50's!. Three stations - ABC, NBC, CBS if you were lucky enough to be in a location where you could get all three by antenna!. No TV shows after ~11PM or midnight!. They would play the national anthem and go off the air!. At least that was my experience in small town Pennsylvania!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
