Obsolete Technology Tellye !

True Televisions have the CRT Tube !! Welcome to the Obsolete Technology Tellye Web Museum. Here you will see a TV Museum showing many Old Tube Television sets all with the CRT Tube, B/W ,color, Digital, and 100HZ Scan rate, Tubes technology. This is the opportunity on the WEB to see, one more time, what real technology WAS ! In the mean time watch some crappy lcd picture around shop centers (but don't buy them, or money lost, they're already broken when new) !!!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and information about some of the electronic, electrical and electrotechnical Obsolete technology relics that the Frank Sharp Private museum has accumulated over the years .

Premise: There are lots of vintage electrical and electronic items that have not survived well or even completely disappeared and forgotten.

Or are not being collected nowadays in proportion to their significance or prevalence in their heyday, this is bad and the main part of the death land. The heavy, ugly sarcophagus; models with few endearing qualities, devices that have some over-riding disadvantage to ownership such as heavy weight,toxicity or inflated value when dismantled, tend to be under-represented by all but the most comprehensive collections and museums. They get relegated to the bottom of the wants list, derided as 'more trouble than they are worth', or just forgotten entirely. As a result, I started to notice gaps in the current representation of the history of electronic and electrical technology to the interested member of the public.

Following this idea around a bit, convinced me that a collection of the peculiar alone could not hope to survive on its own merits, but a museum that gave equal display space to the popular and the unpopular, would bring things to the attention of the average person that he has previously passed by or been shielded from. It's a matter of culture. From this, the Obsolete Technology Tellye Web Museum concept developed and all my other things too. It's an open platform for all electrical Electronic TV technology to have its few, but NOT last, moments of fame in a working, hand-on environment. We'll never own Colossus or Faraday's first transformer, but I can show things that you can't see at the Science Museum, and let you play with things that the Smithsonian can't allow people to touch, because my remit is different.

There was a society once that was the polar opposite of our disposable, junk society. A whole nation was built on the idea of placing quality before quantity in all things. The goal was not “more and newer,” but “better and higher" .This attitude was reflected not only in the manufacturing of material goods, but also in the realms of art and architecture, as well as in the social fabric of everyday life. The goal was for each new cohort of children to stand on a higher level than the preceding cohort: they were to be healthier, stronger, more intelligent, and more vibrant in every way.

The society that prioritized human, social and material quality is a Winner. Truly, it is the high point of all Western civilization. Consequently, its defeat meant the defeat of civilization itself.

Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

OLD, but ORIGINAL, Well made, Funny, Not remotely controlled............. and not Made in CHINA.

Every CRT Television saved let revive knowledge, thoughts, moments of the past life which will never return again.........

Many contemporary "televisions" (more correctly named as displays) would not have this level of staying power, many would ware out or require major services within just five years or less and of course, there is that perennial bug bear of planned obsolescence where components are deliberately designed to fail and, or manufactured with limited edition specificities..... and without considering........picture......sound........quality........

..............The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of todays funny gadgets low price has faded from memory........ . . . . . .....

Don't forget the past, the end of the world is upon us! Pretty soon it will all turn to dust!

Have big FUN ! !

International Radio - Irradio
International Radio, later also known (and then simply) as Irradio, was an Italian company that manufactured audio and video playback and amplification equipment, which no longer exists. Its logo consisted of its name in block letters.

The Irradio brand was later purchased in the 1970s by third parties and used for the distribution of electronics, but had no connection to the original company.

From the 1930s to the 1950s

Founded in 1930 in Milan by Franco Corrado Bonifacini, who, after a trip to the United States, wanted to invest part of the family business's finances in the launch of audio playback equipment[1], with a company that would also reflect overseas markets, even in its marketing.

Thus "International Radio" was created, and by the first half of the decade, the name "Irradio" was added to its name, gradually replacing the original brand over the course of a few years. The company's slogans were "the radio that makes its mark" and "the voice that enchants," in a series of rather aggressive advertising campaigns, unprecedented in Italy, with posters designed by artists of the time such as Gino Boccasile[2].

At the end of the 1930s, an agreement was signed with Blaupunkt for the licensed production of radios. The D57, D58, and B59 tape recorders were produced.

In 1940, the company's headquarters at Corso di Porta Nuova 15 was bombed. On that occasion, it was decided to build a new factory at Via dell'Aprica 14. During that period, production expanded to include turntables and composite furniture such as the ex 623 tape recorder. Much attention continued to be given to product design, with the creation of wall-mounted radios[3].

In the 1950s, Irradio invested both in electronics magazines (including Radiorama, at the time published by the Scuola Radio Elettra) and in the new television sector, adapting its slogan to the new medium with "the vision that enchants" and showing attention to the first mass market demands for televisions with the presentation, as early as 1955, of relatively inexpensive devices, advertised on the programme Un,due,tre by Ugo Tognazzi[4]. A one-year guarantee was offered. In 1956, for example, in the "gold series", production ranged from turntables, radios, TVs, and combos: 17T65, 22T66 phono which included both a cathode ray tube and a radio set[5].
The Sixties and the Closure

In 1957, the headquarters were moved to what would be Irradio's final location: a new building at Via Faravelli 14[6], a U-shaped structure with four floors above ground[7], with a floor area of 7,000 square meters and 370 employees, adequate for the machinery needed for the new production. For the exhibition business, on which Irradio placed great emphasis, a permanent exhibition and sales space was rented at Piazza San Babila 4a[8]. Many Irradio items were then put up for grabs through prize competitions, and advertising campaigns were systematic in magazines, on television, and even on cigarette packets.

Industrial activity continued throughout the 1960s, during which the company—which did not produce high-fidelity equipment and therefore, like similar companies (such as Lesa di Tradate), was the first to feel the Asian competition—attempted to adapt to the new market for record players and design objects. In this sense, the collaboration with designer Mario Bellini for the production of portable devices such as the 1968 Irradiette, later renamed Fonorette, which was also offered as a subscription to a loyalty card for Esso fuel.

Company policies, however, failed to reverse the crisis, leading Irradio - after a series of protests and union interventions[9] - to definitively close in early 1970. The company headquarters, converted in the 1990s to offices and spaces for smaller production activities, and subsequently abandoned, was the subject of a demolition project[10] for the construction of residential buildings.
In 1970, the Irradio brand alone was purchased by Melchioni S.p.A., a Milanese group active in the production and distribution of consumer electronics and electronic components. Melchioni changed the logo several times (first with a series of polygons, then again with a new stylization of the letters in the name) and used it throughout the decade and into the 1980s, initially to market its own products—such as the first video consoles, including the TVG888, as well as televisions, radios, tape recorders, and wired radio equipment—and, later, from the 1990s, to market imported electronics, though with no connection to the original company.

LG Corporation (or LG Group),[b] formerly known as Lucky-Goldstar,[c] is a South Korean multinational conglomerate founded by Koo In-hwoi in 1947 and managed by successive generations of his family. It is the fourth-largest company in South Korea. Its headquarters are in the LG Twin Towers building in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo District, Seoul.[3] LG makes electronics, chemicals, household appliances, and telecommunications products and operates subsidiaries such as LG Electronics, Zenith, LG Display, LG Uplus, LG Innotek, LG Chem, LG Energy Solution and LG AI Research in over 80 countries.
History

LG Corporation was established as Lak Hui Chemical Industrial Corp. in 1947 by Koo In-hwoi.[4] Its first product was "Lucky Cream", the first Korean make-up cream.[5] In 1952, Lak Hui (pronounced "Lucky"; now LG Chem) became the first South Korean company to enter the plastics industry. As the company expanded its plastics business, it established GoldStar Co. Ltd. (now LG Electronics Inc.) in 1958. Both companies Lucky and GoldStar merged to form Lucky-Goldstar in 1983.[6]

GoldStar produced South Korea's first radio.[6] Many consumer electronics were sold under the brand name GoldStar, while some other household products (not available outside South Korea) were sold under the brand name of Lucky. The Lucky brand was famous for hygiene products such as soaps and HiTi laundry detergents, but the brand was mostly associated with its Lucky and Perioe toothpaste. LG continues to manufacture some of these products for the South Korean market.

Koo In-hwoi led the corporation until his death in 1969, at which time, his son Koo Cha-kyung took over. In 1995, he passed the leadership to his son, Koo Bon-moo. Koo Bon-moo renamed the company to LG in that year.[6] The company then trademarked the letters LG with the company's tagline "Life's Good". LG has owned the domain name LG.com since 2009. It had operated LG.co.kr since 1997.[7]

LG replaced its old logo with a new one on 30 December 2014, changing the wordmark font from Helvetica to LG Smart, the new custom corporate typeface of the company since 2013.

Koo Bon-moo died of a brain tumor on 20 May 2018.[8] In July 2018, it was announced that Koo Kwang-mo, the nephew and adopted son of Koo Bon-moo, will be the new CEO of LG. Koo Bon-moo adopted his nephew in 2004, after losing his only son in 1994,[9] citing "a family tradition of male-only succession".[10]

Business

LG Corporation is a holding company that operates worldwide through more than 30 companies in the electronics, chemical, and telecom fields. Its electronics subsidiaries manufacture and sell products ranging from electronic and digital home appliances to televisions and mobile telephones, from thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal displays to security devices and semiconductors. In the chemical industry, subsidiaries manufacture and sell products including cosmetics, industrial textiles, rechargeable batteries and toner products, polycarbonates, medicines, and surface decorative materials. Its telecom products include long-distance and international phone services, mobile and broadband telecommunications services, as well as consulting and telemarketing services. LG also operates the Coca-Cola Korea Bottling Company, manages real estate, offers management consulting, and operates professional sports clubs.[15]

LG AI Research was launched in December 2021. In 2021, the company announced its first version of EXAONE.[16] In 2023, the company stated that the language model reduced costs by 78% by making inference faster and using memory more efficiently and multimodal model used more memory to improve content quality while significantly increasing inference speed, leading to a 66% cost reduction.[17]
