A tiny telly marvel.

Byline: By Kathy Secker

If you think they make small TVs today, just look at this 1930, 3in by 4in screen.

Unfortunately, the TV cabinet itself was much larger and more like a miniature farm cart.

But even Eurovision wouldn't have been a problem for this lovely little beast.

This Tyneside TV, known as a Televisor, was beaming in programmes direct from Germany in 1930.

"We amazed ourselves," said Newcastle TV pioneer George Hornsby, joint owner of the shop Messrs Payne and Hornsby Ltd, in Newcastle.

His partner, Tom Payne is seen demonstrating the set in 1930.
