A Tour Through the History of Television

By John Walters on Monday, May 27, 2002.

Eric Stumpf lives in South Newbury, NH. For about ten years, he's been collecting historic television sets-mostly from the late 40s and early 50s. He concentrates on models that represent advances in the medium's development- the first TVs, the first color sets, early projection TVs and sets that he simply finds attractive. He's turned most of his house and all of his garage into a private TV museum. He doesn't have regular visiting hours, but he does give tours to anyone who is interested; you can reach him at 603-938-5752. (This originally aired 6/1/01.)
