TV Camera Pick-Up Tubes

Dr. Hakim’s Collection

 

Although my main interest as a collector is in Antique X-Ray Tubes and Radiology-related items*, I came along my way across some interesting early TV camera tubes, and, incidentally, I have by now a limited sideline collection of some interesting items which I am happy to present, mainly in pictures, with some short comments.

 

Please click on an item in the list below to open the corresponding page.
