Interesting Pong/Airline TV combo on eBay

[superdeez]

I remember playing with little video game systems when I was a youngster.

I'm more interested in this old Airline portable. Unfortunately, it looks like its owners have been solely been using it with this Pong console for so long it's burned into screen.

Still, I'll bet you don't see another one of either of those units for some time.

Heh, the Montgomery-Ward set is back, although this time the guy listed it seperate from the pong set. I was actually slightly tempted by it until I saw this: "Fully tested and works great. Don't leave it plugged in to it will get hot." lol! So not only does it not get UHF and have PONG burnt into the pix tube, but it's a potential fire hazard too! Such a deal. (Or the guy's just not used to how hot tube gear gets.)

I thought it was somewhat interesting anyway.

I'm not sure that Pong is burnt into it. It looks more like the photo was taken when with Pong on the set and the flash washed out the picture. If it was screen burn the burnt areas would be darker than the background.
