The last B&W TV made for the USA?
Hello-
I recently bought this unusual TV for a few bucks. It is a 12" B&W TV in a clear case, made for use in prison. This one has two numbers engraved on the top, probably the cell number and/or the prisoner/owner's number. It is also unusual for these reasons:
-It has on-screen menus, including auto channel programming.
-It is cable-ready (up to channel 125).
-It was manufactured in October 2006, less than six months before all TVs had to include digital tuners in the USA.
In the picture below, I tuned in one of the two low-power NTSC stations in the Bay Area. Have any of you seen or owned a B&W TV made later than this one?
