I got rid of it in the mid '90's, when the CRT started getting weak (it was an "instant on" set, when operated from AC). I'd love to find another one of those sets; but, no one has ever seen one.

Back then, I thought I was "hot stuff" with that little TV in my room. Today, most kids would act like their arm had been cut off it their parents stuck a small B&W set in their room. Heck, most kids today expect a big HDTV in their room and I blame that on how they were raised.

I didn't have a color TV in my room until well into the '90's, when someone gave me a broken one that I fixed.
Did it look like this?
