WAY overpriced. I have 3 of them, which I paid $6 to $30 for. Adding insult to injury, that silver vinyl carry case is for a B&W Watchman :thumbsdn:

Strange Sony Watchman
 

Found this Sony set (FDL-250T) on eBay a little while ago... the design is a fairly strange "set on a rope" model.

Picture 1... What is it?
Picture 2... A TV set, but it really does not stand up very well.
Picture 3... Ok, you gotta use the little gizzy thing to prop it up!
Picture 4... Fair reception of a low power analog station, decent viewing angle, perhaps a TFT set?
Picture 5... With the sun-shade raised, an A/V input is exposed for direct connection to a DVD player... 16:9 pix is seen here.

A fun addition to my little Watchman collection, but I can't find a production date... anybody here know when it was made?

Found a PDF manual for the set on Amazon... It is a TFT... product reviews were written in 2001-2002.

Cool little modern one. I was gonna guess 1999 or so when this model came out. It kinda reminds me of those iMac's that come in various colors from the same time period.

Nice set, and the only clam shell TV I can think of. I got that one, and my LCD Sony color collection has grown exponentially :). I'll put up new pics asap. I still need the 4.5" FDL-4500 (if I'm correct), and only one or two others to be 100% complete on the US market sets.

I stared at the Philco Safari when it was new!
