First post from a lurker (who doesn't have many TVs either!)
I dunno - it looks like paper to me...
I just had to mention this Ebay UK ad - this Nakamichi has been on the system under different numbers for OVER A YEAR - he's easily asking ~3x what that deck's worth - dread to think what his costs have been by now:
Nakamichi CR1E
Re that RadarRange ad - technically you CAN watch "tv" on it - stick a chicken or something in the microwave section and watch it rotate - microwaves were the butt of jokes about "oh, you've got a new TV in your kitchen" etc etc over here in the UK for most of the 80s - got very boring pretty quick!
BTW - is that "poodle in a microwave" an American urban legend, or did that really happen???
