Sat Sep 17 = Smithsonian MUSEUM DAY! Join us at the Sarnoff! Stop by the Art Gallery too! #MuseumDay @MuseumDay
NBC (with, RCA, Sarnoff Labs' corporate parent) battled for months to be the first to broadcast Queen Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation in the US: the network won by a mere 13 minutes! americanheritage.com/great-coronati… #parasocial #QueenElizabethII
Meet our summer student workers, Melanie and Stenneth! Check out the interview they did with one another on our blog to get to know them a bit more! davidsarnoff.tcnj.edu/category/acade…
This is Aeriola Sr. Receiver Radio (1922) - the first radio using a vacuum tube that RCA marketed to the public. It sold for $75, but that did not include the cost of the tube, antenna, or batteries. Check it out at the Sarnoff! 📻✨ #sarnoff #rca #vintageelectronics #tcnj
📺 Check out our new blogpost about our current Vinyl Videos exhibit! We hope everyone enjoyed the lively zoom discussion and our current exhibition! davidsarnoff.tcnj.edu/2022/05/02/vin…
This videodisc plaque was awarded to RCA VP Dr. Brandinger after the launch of the project (1984). This 1942 version of the videodisc format could only store 10 minutes of video/audio content. It was the first color video recorded on a disc! #sarnoff #rca #vintageelectronics
The RCA Videodisc system – along with the story of its creation, introduction, and impact on the RCA corporation – embodies the curious strength and fragility of corporate innovation. #tcnj #selectavision #videodisc #sarnoffcollection #crt #museumcollection
Save the date for APRIL 24! The Sarnoff Collection will be presenting, "Vinyl Videos: The Rise and Fall of the RCA Videodisc". All are welcome! It will be followed by a live/Zoom conversation among Videodisc project leaders, scholars, and historians of science & technology. #RCA
Some closeup of the Victor Electrola-Radiola RE75 (1929) here at the Sarnoff Collection! #vinatgeelectronics #sarnoffcollection #tcnj #oldtechnology #rca
We have some nostalgic cartoons in our RCA Videodisc collection such as this "Disney Cartoon Parade: Volume 2" videodisc! Some other titles we have are Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry! #videodisc #sarnoffcollection #tcnj #oldtechnology #vintageelectronics #rca
RCA's Selectron was a 256-bit electronic memory tube, and the world's first dynamic random-access memory tube. It retailed for $8,000 and RCA wasn't able to make it commercially viable before the advent of magnetic core memory. #tcnj #sarnoffcollection #rca #vintageelectronics
This is a Victor 45 RPM Record Player! RCA Victor Engineer Benjamin Carson took advantage of vinyl's improved properties to develop the 45 RPM system. This was released in 1949! #tcnj #sarnoffcollection #phonograph #oldtechnology #rca #vintageelectronics
When RCA acquired the Victor Talking Machine Company, they also adopted the company’s trademark, Nipper the dog listening to a phonograph. Check out our painting reproduction at the gallery! #tcnj #sarnoffcollection #nipperthedog #rca
Another classic, Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". #videodisc #sarnoffcollection #tcnj #oldtechnology #rcavideodisc
Are you a Star Trek fan? This is one of the many Star Trek videodiscs we have in the Sarnoff Collection! #videodisc #sarnoffcollection #tcnj #oldtechnology #rcavideodisc #StarTrek
📻This is the Radiola No.26 created in 1925! This is a superheterodyne radio and Sarnoff purchased the rights to manufacture this type of radio. The creator of the superheterodyne circuit was talented engineer, Edwin Armstrong! #rca #sarnoffcollection #oldtechnology
Movies are better on vinyl! #CED #RCA #VideoDisc
