At the end of 1952, the broadcasting of a regular television programme began in Germany. In the early years, the television sets were offered either as table-top sets or as television furniture. Combination chests contained other consumer electronics devices in addition to the TV set. The combination chest “Bodensee” features a television set, a radio set and a record player. It cost DM 2,449. A tape recorder could also be integrated.
