This home-built television receiver was especially designed for Radio News readers. Building this unit will provide much-needed experience for future television technicians.

In addition to the featured construction project, this September issue included articles about servicing and installing TVs, a technical description of TV counter circuits, and an article by Dr. V. K. Zworykin, a TV engineering pioneer, entitled, "A Reflecting Optical System for Projection Television."
