A friend of mine has one of these that he bought years ago at a yard sale for a buck or two. Then, he had to buy a wall wart to run it on AC. He had it in his work shop, connected to analog cable via a 3.5mm to "F" connector adapter.
I also seem to remember them selling new for $50 (or less) back in the mid-late '80's.
The last one I saw for sale was at the SA, about a week before the DTV transition, and they wanted $25 for it. Had it been $2.50, I would have bought it. It's that sort of crazy "out of touch with reality" pricing that keeps me out of that store.
I have a few 5" sets that I never use; but, I'm still hanging on to them since they are an important part of TV history. At least I can still use them with a DTV converter or analog cable (until they do away with that). One day, I'm going to obtain one or two of the small handheld TV's.
