There's an old Esso station around the corner from me that still has one of those RCA sets on top of the drink cooler, and it still works. All they really do these days are tire repairs, brake tags and light repairs. They removed their last pump and tank three weeks ago, as they couldn't buy gasoline cheaper than some stations were selling it due to the low volume at their station.
I had two of those 5" sets within the last 4 years. Bought the first one for $11 new just for the novelty of buying a new TV for $11. Hmm, that's the first TV I ever bought new come to think about it! It lasted until sometime in '07 when one of the cats knocked it off the file cabinet. The second one I bought for $9.99 on sale at Walgreen Drugs, I watched it about three times - one day it wouldn't turn on and I threw it in the garbage. I can't remember the brand names but they were identical to the one in your picture.
