It's an older one, almost certainly late 70's, very nice looking so if it's cheap I'd grab it.

Got a white Mod style 79 Toshiba already, don't use it but thought it should be saved.

Late '70's, maybe '80-'81 at the latest.

My red one is from 1976.

I think this is from 1980ish just by its design.

That ViewStar cable box, there's something you don't see every day... except on eBought.

Looks better than so many other Blackstripe sets I have seen. I never cared for the oblong area around the tuning dials. Anyway, if you want it, and the seller doesn't try to soak you for it, go for it.

Still doesn't come close to that elusive porta-potty though, right?
