NBC (with, RCA, Sarnoff Labs' corporate parent) battled for months to be the first to broadcast Queen Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation in the US: the network won by a mere 13 minutes! americanheritage.com/great-coronati… #parasocial #QueenElizabethII

This is Aeriola Sr. Receiver Radio (1922) - the first radio using a vacuum tube that RCA marketed to the public. It sold for $75, but that did not include the cost of the tube, antenna, or batteries. Check it out at the Sarnoff! 📻✨ #sarnoff #rca #vintageelectronics #tcnj

This videodisc plaque was awarded to RCA VP Dr. Brandinger after the launch of the project (1984). This 1942 version of the videodisc format could only store 10 minutes of video/audio content. It was the first color video recorded on a disc! #sarnoff #rca #vintageelectronics

The RCA Videodisc system – along with the story of its creation, introduction, and impact on the RCA corporation – embodies the curious strength and fragility of corporate innovation. #tcnj #selectavision #videodisc #sarnoffcollection #crt #museumcollection

RCA's Selectron was a 256-bit electronic memory tube, and the world's first dynamic random-access memory tube. It retailed for $8,000 and RCA wasn't able to make it commercially viable before the advent of magnetic core memory. #tcnj #sarnoffcollection #rca #vintageelectronics

This is a Victor 45 RPM Record Player! RCA Victor Engineer Benjamin Carson took advantage of vinyl's improved properties to develop the 45 RPM system. This was released in 1949! #tcnj #sarnoffcollection #phonograph #oldtechnology #rca #vintageelectronics

📻This is the Radiola No.26 created in 1925! This is a superheterodyne radio and Sarnoff purchased the rights to manufacture this type of radio. The creator of the superheterodyne circuit was talented engineer, Edwin Armstrong! #rca #sarnoffcollection #oldtechnology
