CHRS Television Day - May 23, 2026

[Tom Albrecht]

Calling all Antique TV Enthusiasts!

Our CHRS Television Day will be held on May 23 this year. As usual, the event will include a number of presentations and demos on topics related to the technology and history of TV receivers and broadcasting.

Lunch will be available for a small donation. The event will be held at CHRS Radio Central, 2152 Central Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501. Starting time is 10 AM.

This event is free of charge, and you do not need to be a member of CHRS to attend. If you would like to attend, please let me know, so we can plan enough lunch, etc.

See you there!

We still have room on the schedule for another presentation or two, so if you would like make a presentation or prepare a demo, please contact me.

Here's a link to videos of our 2025 event so you can get a flavor of what the day is like:

I hope to see many collectors and enthusiasts there, too! Between the presentations, the opportunity to meet and talk to other early-TV-set collectors, and the wonderful CHRS early TV exhibits (plus all of their other amazing exhibits), if you are reading this forum then you should go if you possibly can. It is worth a trip.

Thank you for posting this announcement, Tom.

Yeah...A week of driving round trip to California (taking a plane to a swapmeet makes no sense as you can't buy or sell anything and presentations can be held via YouTube) plus gas out there being almost triple the already high price out here, plus having to experience the general weirdness of urban California... All that together doesn't make sense to deal with unless you're in a western state.

One thing that is not part of CHRS TV Day is a swap meet! So you can fly after all…

We could try to be extra weird, so that your expectations are fully met. Most days we probably seem almost normal.
