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.)
