I love that little one on the right Goodlin. I think I seen one of those MANY years ago at an automotive swap meet RIGHT next to a Sony 303. Both of them were described as "car TV sets". The little Sony 303 even had a little custom wire bracket sorta thing that hung it from a seat back.

I would have gotten it if I had seen it "now".....but back then all I collected was muscle cars :-P Old GM muscle cars didn't appear to ever come with or have any TV set as an option. The Sony was apparently a Benz option, and I would imagine the little Philco you have there on the right was likely a Lincoln limousine item.

I remember them VERY well, because about that time, my dad had given me the little Sony 303 that was my first set.....and if "I" wanted it to function correctly, I had to figure out it's "no vertical" :-)

Still have the 303, and I keep it seperate from the rest. That is a special set to me. (I should get another one to put next to the 301 and 305)
