Quasar UP1315XQ
I picked this portable color TV up at an estate sale for $10. The seller claimed it was part of a security system, but that seems unlikely. It came with the AC adapter and seems to be in working order, though for obvious reasons I can't check out the picture quality these days.

Dang, those are some big pictures.
You can test the picture quality easily just get a cheap RF modulator and clip the center of the RF coax to the antenna with an alligator clip test jumper lead....Or get an expensive-ish Blonder Tongue modulator + antenna and transmit your own analog TV channel.

I use a DTV converter for test, results are great! The set shown is a re-badged Panasonic, fine performing sets. |

Consumer set that MAY have been used for security.
Usually security monitors have no tuner & are from other mfg's like Panasonic, Sony, JVC etc. Pretty sure none ever sold under Quasar label ( even though its a Panny). These were great little sets, best in class IMHO. Panny / Quasar took time to make them very servicable & of a high build quality. Just a ball to work on, I could do it all day. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

Red screws, anyone?

Loved them red screws. Sure made life easier.
For them that never worked on Panny stuff they used red screws for the ones that allowed the chassis to be pulled or a sub assembly. Some things like radios if you pull the wrong screw you could loose the dial cord, a PIA ! Also many used dial cord assy's that you could pull off to work on the board. The way things should be done. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

It's cable ready? I've never seen a cable ready portable TV with a tuner like that. I'm guessing you set it to VHF high and then use the A-E buttons to tune the higher channels? And if it's cable ready it would have to have a 75 ohm jack.
