Tosca 40201 television set

The purpose of a television set is to reproduce images and sound, transmitted wirelessly over radio waves. The *Tosca* black-and-white television set presented here was produced by Zakłady Radiowe Diora w Dzierżoniowie, specialising in the production of radio receivers. The *Tosca* was one of the four television set models produced in Dzierżoniów, the others being the *Szeherezada*, *Aladyn*, and the *Tosca Lux*. The application of a 17-inch CRT with a deflection angle of 110° and the use of printed circuits allowed the external dimensions of the housing and the weight of the device to be significantly reduced. An interesting fact is that the receiver employs a light sensor, enabling automatic adjustment of the contrast of the image displayed depending on the lighting conditions in the room.
