Description: The original accession sheet for Connie Perham's donation to the Perham Foundation describes this as "Original Farnsworth T.V. Tube." Believed to be an early cathode ray tube (CRT). Creators likely tested the phosphor on the display surface, as it does not have any electrodes for electron beam deflection.
