TV sets of famous/important people

I was looking at a thread at the Color TV forum whose title was "Elvis's RCA color TV at Graceland" and I thought it could be interesting if we started posting pictures of vintage TV sets that belonged to famous people. Here's my contribution ( I know, it's a horrible picture, but was the best I could get photographing a newspaper with a simple digital camera ): a 1951 TV radio-phono combo that belonged to Brazilian President Getulio Vargas ( two times President of Brazil: 1930/1945 and 1951/1954 ). I wish I knew the brand of the TV, a friend of mine said that it's an Olympic. The TV is with some other 900 itens that belonged to President Vargas in the Museum of the Republic in Rio de Janeiro. I emailed the museum weeks ago asking for information about this TV, but so far got no response. When I get the opportunity I will go to Rio de Janeiro and take better pictures of this TV. Unfortunately, it will not happen anytime soon, because I live at more than a 1000 kilometers from that city.

Anyone in the New York area could take pictures of President Roosevelt's TV sets at Hyde Park?
