TV reception on Mars?Yes--love to see that transmitter and antenna system to BROADCAST to that set-and at UHF no less!
"chairside control" with the cabrole legs-why couldn't some of our autotune SW transmitters come with a control head like that-"SW broadcasting to the world without leaving your control room seat!"Philco was ahead of its time!and inclined "sounding board" speaker systems--HMM-should the modulators in our transitters be inclined?
If there are 340 tons of dishes to do over a lifetime-then its time for how many dishwashers to wash that?How many tons of dirty clothes over a lifetime?
Did RCA invent the Finial Laser TT back in 1941?Or is that TT really a CD player?
And like how they call radio sets in those days "Instruments"?
the Kodak 8MM projector with "Edit" mode playback speeds-cool!Bet they don't make that type of projector anymore-now they make DIGITAL projectors for cinema and IMAX use with laser lamp houses.
Really fun ads-have some old magazines at home with similar ads-the swap shop in Grimesland gets these types of magazines.

I don't think that RCA used a laser. It was still a tonearm/stylus of some kind.
Item 4 gives it away:
"By exerting astoundingly light pressure on the records, the magic tone cell gives them extraordinary long life."
So something is in contact with the record, I wonder what?
Here's a link to an article explaining the magic tone cell and how it worked.
That was one advanced turntable for 1942! I wonder if any exist today?

RCA phonograph's Magic Tone Cell
"So something is in contact with the record, I wonder what?"
Allen, in your article they say this: "The scanner is a carefully ground sapphire point which replaces the needle." I suspect the "scanner" is really a sapphire stylus.

I have to wonder how well the RCA system worked. As far as I know, the system didn't survive. Was it a case that it really didn't perform well in the real world? It was better on paper than practice (like at least the early years of the audio CD)? Or did it perform well for the time, but get surpassed a few years later? Or was it a great or potentially system that, for whatever reason, fell by the wayside? (I personally have to doubt this last item; however, one never knows-- I have written off too many technologies just to be proven wrong, so I don't casually write anything off anymore!) In any case, it would be interesting to have this RCA system in working order to play with.
Also I wonder if other radio companies didn't have a system like this. I seem to recall having seen a vintage ad like this before, but I THINK it was Philco. But maybe my memory is faulty....
