Sets that you feel sorry for.....

[Sandy G]

I dunno; You can name ANY era & find "Collectable TVs from it. Take the Eighties. Too new, nothing exciting, right ? Well, Bunky, don't be so hasty. Panasonic put out all manner of interesting sets then, you can have a pretty decent collection, just focusing on the myriad of those "Teeny-Tiny" 1 & 1.5" "Paperback Novel" size sets. They also made a SLEW of 3" sets, I like the one that they made to look like a TV camera, it also has an AM/FM radio. Most of the ones I've run across seem to be either lightly-used, or beat-to-shit, for some reason. But they're still plentiful, & most of the time, quite cheap. They even made COLOR versions, the unreal 1.5" CT-101 goes for SILLY money now, but its bigger brother, the 2.75" CT-3311 usually isn't as expensive, but MUCH harder to find. You gotta hand it to an outfit that would shell out the developmental bux like Matsushita did in engineering a color TV than was basically the size of a summer potboiler crime novel, never really expecting the product to re-coup much of its developmental costs.
