This QEX Portable TV & VHS
This is at my local thrift.. I tested it the other day, and the tape plays but seems off speed or has tracking issues as it can't keep a clear picture, and there's also no sound.. I think this is a neat small portable TV/VCR with a handle on the top.. I want to get it, but not for that price, If I wait till next Sat, that colored price sticker will be included in the half off sale.. I did a google search with the QEX label and the model number and I can't get anything to come up about this product, even searched QEX and the model number alone and nothing.. Even did an eBay search on Portable VHS including sold/ended items, and nothing.. Was hoping to find something maybe under a different label.. Not sure if I posted this under the appropriate section.. Maybe someone on here knows any info?

Even at 20% of the price, I wouldn't consider it!
It looks like it's going to be a real problem to repair it, as those faults are not an easy fix, even on the better makes. Maybe someone else has a better opinion! :scratch2: |
I bet that was made for a conversion van.

I never heard of that brand before.I would give them $5 bucks for it.$10 the most.

Panasonic made something similar, which I have in storage somewhere.. It's just like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MPO-VIDEOTRO...%257Ciid%253A1
Except mine is not a relabel, it's an actual Panasonic.. It doesn't work right either.. They look to be made for portable applications even though I don't think any of them runs off batteries.. So I'm confused.. I've seen TVs/VCR combos made for vans and vehicles and they usually have mounting on the sides or the top to either hang from the ceiling or mount between seats.. I don't think they ever made a portable VCR to run off D cell batteries or even a battery pack of sorts.. I don't think batteries would last very long running a VCR and TV.. The screens on these are actual small CRTs |
If it has an FCC ID code on back you can look it up at
FCC.gov & see who built it & the model number of the original. Not something I would pay over a fin for. 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |

Maybe instead of a VCR a guy could stick a RPi in a portable CRT TV?:scratch2: |

Also, Fry's has or had a Naxa-brand digital-TV tuner with composite-video and RF outputs that also has an SD card slot for media. |
