Wow! I would love to see that! Up till now, I thought the 10" GE "porta-color" was the smallest tube color portable.

On the RCA 8PT.... series they have lots of louvers and ran warm, but not terrible. Power transformer added weight, but also safety. I remember being a little kid and hauling my 22lb 8PT7032 (black) around with only moderate difficulty.

Decent Pix here...too bad this one is missing the mount for the stand on one side:
