They're analogous to a Porta Potty TV... GE came out w/them in late 1965. They were the 1st PORTABLE color TV. They took out anything/.everything that wasn't absolutely necessary to the receipt/display of a color signal. & GE was able to sell 'em for right at $200. My Dad got one of the 1st ones in NE Tennessee. It :"Lived" til 1973, on virtually 20 hrs a day .In that time, I think it only needed 2-4 tubes.NOBODY told Porta-Potties that they were cheap & nasty, so they typically just kept working. I dunno what ever happened to ours-My Dad might have sold/gave it away. It could easily be stuffed in a junk hole closet somewhere, awaiting its turn to be given a new lease on life....
