How much was a tv in the 1930's?

Question

if u don't no don't answer it!

Answer 1

In the 30's there was only Radio, lots of people used the short wave radios to listen to international news and alike, also to listen to baseball, there were no other sports broadcasted, back then there were no computers, no television, no nothing, kids used to play with wooden toys, and most people ride bicycles, they couldn't afford a car, mostly mature people own the cars or when they had sufficient money to buy one, it was a whole different ball game back then, but our grands-grands live and were happy about their lives..☺

Answer 2

Even though there were some test transmissions in the late 30s, they were not to the general public and TVs were not sold in stores. That started right after the war around 1947, and the first TV sets had very small screen, like 3" or 4" and would cost about $1,000.
That at a time when people earned $2,000 to $3,000 a year (and many only made about $1,500)!!!

Answer 3

In television's electromechanical era, commercially made television sets were sold from 1928 to 1934 in the United Kingdom, United States, and Russia. The earliest commercially made sets sold by Baird in the UK and the U.S. in 1928 were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a neon tube behind a mechanically spinning disk (the Nipkow disk) with a spiral of apertures that produced a red postage-stamp size image, enlarged to twice that size by a magnifying glass. The Baird "Televisor" was also available without the radio. The Televisor sold in 1930-1933 is considered the first mass-produced set, selling about a thousand units.

The first commercially made electronic television sets with cathode ray tubes were manufactured by Telefunken in Germany in 1934, followed by other makers in Britain (1936) and America (1938). The cheapest of the pre-World War II factory-made American sets, a 1938 image-only model with a 3-inch (8 cm) screen, cost US$125, the equivalent of US$1,732 in 2005. The cheapest model with a 12-inch (30 cm) screen was $445 ($6,256).

Answer 4

Although there certainly WAS tv in the 30's I could only locate the price for an Electric Movie Projector which was $3.95 in North Carolina in 1935. Thats a lot considering 100 dollars back then is equal to 1204.42 dollars today!
