Comes with matching orange chair. :lmao:

I have serious doubts that's the original TV for that chair, a plastic set, with ordinary knobs in a public place like an Airport?
It would last about 30 minutes before the knobs were gone and the cabinet was broken.

I agree - they had these at Moisant (N.O. Int'l.) at least into the early 90's, except the chairs had shorter backs and were black&white. The TVs were larger - probably 9" screens, and looked nothing like a set you could buy off the shelf.

Someone should inform the seller his decimal point is two spaces too far to the right...

Looks like some that used to be in the St. Louis bus station in the 80s.

Airport! (remember the song by the Motors?)

These always remind me of airport coin-op tv's.

looks kinda like something you'd see in the spaceport in the movie 2001- a space odyssey.
