What is this thing??? (1993 Philips/Magnavox)
Found something interesting at the VOA today... It is a Philips 13-inch TV, a Magnavox VCR and another component between them, all combined into one cabinet. The logos on the TV and VCR are blacked out. The middle component looks like it might have a 3-1/2" disk drive or some type of card reader. The middle component does not have any buttons or switches, or any other openings like a CD slot. The VCR and middle component share a common back panel. There is a symbol I don't recognize on the middle component, looks like an I and S over a triangle (see the last attachment). The plastic over the middle component seems unfinished at the bottom; maybe there was another part that was supposed to cover up the VCR.
The power and antenna connections for the TV go right into the middle/bottom part. That part has a single power cable, antenna input and keyboard jack that looks like an Ethernet port. The TV's model number is DR1301 C101 and the VCR has a label with a model number of DR13VC R101. I would guess the second model number is for the whole contraption including the TV because the current rating is 1.4 amps for that; the TV's current rating is 1.0 amps. The TV has a manufacture date of December 1992, the other label says January 1993. Any idea what this thing might be? I tried searching for the model number but only came up with remotes for it. |
