Scored big time today at the SA!

I was looking through the electronics section at the Salvation Army this afternoon when I spotted this, I couldn't believe my eyes!

It works perfectly, has no damage other than a few light marks that will polish out easily.

It was half off today so it cost me a whopping 10.00! :D

Yep, I'd say you done real good! Isn't that from the mid '70's? I'll be hitting up my SA in the morning. I've got a feeling that 2009 will be a good year for finding older TV's.

I'm jealous!!!!

Great find :yes: Is that one pink or white; can't tell from the photo? Those are very collectible these days. I had blue one about 15 years ago when they weren't collectible, and wish I'd kept it. Those are even more rare than the Sony version (KV-4000), I think.

Interesting little TV. It looks newer than '75. Maybe closer to '82 or '83 possibly? What is that video in white letters mean?

Never seen such a cool TV! I haven't found anything yet this year but I keep looking.

This one is white, pink would be cooler but hey, I'm not complaining. :D

It's from 1986. Several makers had bright colorful sets during the 80's, including Quasar who had a line of 13"? cube shaped sets with a remote that looked like a small TV, I wouldn't mind a collection of those either.

IIRC, those l'il guys were made in ivory, silver, black & T!tty-Nipple Pink. I have 2-Pink & Ivory. The ivory seems to have gotten a yellowish cast to it over the years. Both have EXCELLENT pictures on 'em, though. They turn up infrequently on You-Know-Where. Both of mine are in excellent cosmetic shape other than the yellowing on the ivory one, I got the impression neither one saw a lot of use. And just for the record, they are from the mid-'80s.

Eric,
I have one of the Quasar (Panasonic) cube tv's but am missing the rare matching remote for it. Luckily another Quasar remote i had around will work it. It has that fantastic "panacolor" picture that Panasonic was known for.

Wow, nice score for 10 bucks!

Tony V, I love those 'cube' Quasars... I had two at one point, a '85 and '86.... one was pink and one was white (yellowed :thumbsdn:) but neither had a working remote.....I managed to get one working but the pink one was a trashfind so it was long gone. Both got tossed due to lack of space....:nono:
