He built the 33-tube TV re- ' celver which he and Applegate use in their experiments. The total cost of the video transmitter was less than $1,000, exclusive of labor. It would cost as much as $6,000 to buy, already constructed. That does not include Begg's picture tube and receiver.

"I guess it's only an educational project now . . . just a hobby for us hams," Applegate says, looking endearingly at the disarray ol tubes, cabinets, and cables clut tering his living room, "but tele vision will come to these parts just as my great grandfather, Charlie, and his wagon tram ar rived, and stayed, in Oregon."
