Portable TV in JFK White House

They were watching the first Mercury manned mission. https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net...e5&oe=617FEA59
I would have thought that they'd have regular console TVs in the White House back then. Looks like a staffer brought in their personal portable to watch the space mission.

It's an RCA, 1958 or so.

I've got a CTC-9 in the same cabinet as the oval office set.

Sort of reminds me of the Setchell-Carlson of the same vintage.

Ah, the days when American ingenuity was viewed
on a USA-made set. We really need to revisit some of these principles today.(!)
