Yes, I think they are great, too! But please don't be mad! Keep a cool head and think how you can get closer to your goal with a clear and fresh mind!
If you really want to own a roundie, you can't get this with one step. Shipping of a tabletop model to Romania will cost $800 or more, add the toll and the taxes and you have to pay $1200 alone for shipping. Tabletops are rare, there are much more opportunities for getting a console. This is much larger and heavier which increases the costs for shipping enormously. Further costs are those for a 115 vac transformer and for a NTSC video converter.
The Porta-Color has a 70 degrees deflection crt. The costs for shipping are appr. $60 (surface) or $90 (airmail), declared as "old tv repair parts" it is toll free (is it in Romania too?) Pay $30 by yourself for the set for example and you can make your first experiences with an American tv set which are indispensably to operate a roundie in later times.
