Anyone collect vintage CRT portable TV's ?

I started to collect vintage portable color tv's.

I usually get them for free, rescue from garbage or pay very little for them.

Here's one of my favorite vintage small TV sets.

Managed to grab this FREE off someone getting rid of it on craigslist.

I called 2 times, no answer. Called a 3rd time and got a hold of the person.

They said they were going to throw it away for recycling or give it to Goodwill,

but then listed it on craigslist to see if someone wanted it.

Anyways, I went to go see it and to my amazement, the thing is near mint !

It looks like it was hardly used ! The picture on it is still great too !

It was manufactured in Japan May 1976.

Here's my latest pickup. It's a 1978 Sears (Sanyo) Model 14062 Color Portable TV, made in Gifu Japan.

This one has a very space age unique look to it with hard shiney plastic shell and plastic front

clear panel. It is an AC-DC set which means it has 4 pins on the power cord.

This TV is famous. Do you recognize the TV at 24 seconds of this youtube clip ?

I think it is a very rare TV because it was sold by a Canadian Company Eaton's.

It is made in Japan as well.

Anyone know anything about this model ? Heres some pics and a video.

The video taken just showed that it works.

Nice collection! My family owned a TV repair shop when I was growing up. It closed down at the end of the 80s. But I grew up looking at TVs like this an these TVs are worth pretty good amount of money.
