28 photos of vintage TV, EMI record making, and a 1950s TV & radio shop

Terence Sharp, who's family owned the "C. Sharp & Sons" TV & Radio business in Darlington, in the 1950s, sent me a set of interesting pictures.

I felt I had to make them available so I created a section on the TV camera museum website.

These are outside the normal content for tvcameramuseum so I have posted the details here for those who wish to look. I particularly like the last photo, echoes of Gerry Wells!

There are also two pamphlets that Sharp & Sons produced as part of the retail promotions.

Very interesting Brian. The charges for the guarantees look quite scary for the period, especially if you had 17" or projection model.

Thanks for posting,

Thanks for making these available. Since "C Sharp" were Murphy dealers they must have been good. Murphy selected their dealers carefully.

I like the magnifying lens on a stand in front of a television in image 26.
