1945-60 American Sets

Immediately after World War Two production of TV sets started in the U.S. In 1946, only a few stations were on the air, and broadcasting hours were very limited. By 1949, almost all major cities had at least one station. At the end of 1946, only 44,000 homes had a TV set; by the end of 1949, there were 4.2 million TV homes. By 1953, 50% of American homes had television.

The RCA-Victor model Nipper Ten is a 5-tube table radio for standard broadcast reception. CDN: 55: K772D: Uses Astatic N8-3 cartridge. CDN: 68: RJM-40: 2SC668: The RCA model RJM-40 is a portable AM/FM radio. Has earphone jack and DC power jack. CDN: 68: RJM-45: 2SC668: The RCA model RJM-45 is a portable AM/FM radio. Has earphone jack and DC power jack. Thank you all for the replies. Here is a photo of the model and serial number. The receiver works and the phonograph does power up but I can't get it to reject a record. Really haven't spent any time on it. Maybe in the future.

In the late 40s, A T & T started building a microwave and coaxial cable network to tie together TV stations in the U.S. The network started on the east coast, but by 1950 it had been expanded to the south and midwest. By 1956, most cities were linked to network programming.

There is a good selection of pictures of postwar American sets, along with a lot of advertising material, at Television History - the First 75 Years.
