Realistic Portavision 5" Color TV 16-107
Picked up this great little set at a thrift for $5. Couldn't resist. It works. I tested it at the thrift shop. I'll have pics when I get it set up. Looks to have a striped shadow mask. I want it as a monitor for testing connections to analog sets from my TIVO boxes, etc.

This set reminds me of the TMK set in the other thread.Rat Shack used to be great when they printed the schematics in back of the instructions.

Not only did they provide the schematics, but service manuals. You had to pay for the manuals, but they were very complete.

How good was the image quality on the smaller color portavisions, compared to a casio color LCD or a sony watchman like the FDL-22?

I think the tiny LCDs at the time were definitely proof that "content is king" (meaning the picture quality was not very good, but good enough if you were mainly interested in watching on a mobile device, and not how good the picture looked).

Manual
Do you have access to the manuals? Or like a scan of them, I need them for my set

good sets & ran a good parts dept. Sams dont list the RS set, SO....... You got to ID the set. Look on the model tag for a FCC ID or type acceptance number. Then go to FCC.gov & search the number there. If its listed it will give the OEM brand & model. From there you can search for the manuals. Also you may post problem it has & maybe get a simple answer without a manual. BTW this works for other electronics with those numbers. Monitors, radios, metal detectors ............. 73 Zeno & merry Christmas ! LFOD ! |

Oh and some bum eBay seller had the manual attached to one of these they were selling but weren't willing to sell the manual on it's own, and I don't really need a whole new one of them Last edited by SarahCl0316; 12-22-2023 at 10:07 PM. Reason: additional info |
