Can anyone back up his story?

Actually I think it was a 1.5" screen and came with a clip on magnifier. It was about 4" wide, 2" tall and 8-9" deep. It was truly portable and could easily be brought to a football game to see the replays.
The company I was working for back then (80-81?) used some with the surveillance equipment we were designing. A pretty cool little TV.
