Has anybody seen A 3 CRT TV before?
 

The big screen is 19" the two smaller ones are 5"

Not one like that but I recall Sony marketing a 3-screen TV in the 70s. It even had a remote control, IIRC. What they did, though, was combine 3 of their 12" B&W TVs into a larger walnut case so there was very little 'integration' going on. They may have also attempted marketing a Trinitron version, too, but I never saw one.

They were all the rage for the well-heeled sports nut of the day, mostly doctors and lawyers in my old college town.

Cheers,

an early version of PIP -- Picture and pictures :D

I saw one a long time ago, very much like that one. I thought it was a Teknika, but maybe it was a Sampo.

LOL

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Why did they stop at 3?

Interesting little hooberbloob. I have a Sampo "All in One"- 5" color TV, AM/FM, & Cassette. It mostly works, but is from '81 as well, & was obviously never intended to last this long...That, & somebody along the line was less-than-kind to it...

I have the Sony model with 3 B/W sets-wasn't born w/remote.

The Sampo TriScreen... I've had a couple of them, and I know that they were once sold by the Spiegel Catalog around 1980. Not sure where else. Not a bad set at all, and it had an EARLY infrared remote!

Hi Charles, I agree, Plasma should be designed and used for pushing deep space sattelites or desktop space wasters. Not television sets.

Probably because 3 is the first odd prime. (By definition, 1 is not considered a true prime.) :lmao:

How big is this set? Its hard to get a sense of its diminsions from the picture provided in the auction.

This was back before cable TV was common. So 3 networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) so 3 displays.

I well remember from the early 80s there was a set frequently given away on The Price Is Right. It was a console with a 25" color screen plus 2 small bw screens. I am almost positive it was an Hitachi.

Just added this cool set to my collection!!! Well, back in the early 50's Westinghouse produced a rare experimental 4 tube color set...the Wesetinghour 8440CKQ using match quad of RCA 15GP22 CRTs. Designed for early sports enthusiants....no just kidding, playing around with Adobe Photoshop...but it would sure be neat PIP. :D

:yippy:

And you wouldn't have to worry about heating your house in the winter... Let's see: About 160 tubes in there!
