Yes which is why I suggested museums, since what they might want is probably a credit in the book and little more.
What is also a good idea would be somebody good at cartoons to show the sort of people who had tv problems back in the day. There were some wonderfully clueless and yet strangely appealing people.
My late father, once it was known he worked for a company which made TVs used to get calls at the Dorr. Ethel at no 56 says you know about tvs, I think the picture valve has gone as there is a funny smell and no picture but the sound works, then when my dad looking a bit baffled due to having just awoken from a sleep induced by a soap on the box was about to speak and they did the whole thing again, like some sort of recording. Actually, he basically declined as further questioning suggested said set was still under guarantee anyway. So beware if you get to be known for some talent, and do not want to make a second business in your spare time, plead ignorance!
