I guess if you're Barbie, that's a big-screen TV.

Thats true, EW.

Someone will want this set one day. I can almost guarantee it. How about a nudie shot? (of the TV, not the doll )

I don't want to open this one up for pictures but I might be able to take some of a similar mini set.

Not much to see, a PC board with lots of little parts on it, a Flyback transformer, a tuner, a big IC that controls most everything.

They actually aren't all that bad for what they are.

Yeah, should've thought of that... Bet it makes a good picture though.

Hmm, I dunno, I haven't tried it yet, the seller said it worked fine so it must.

Lets see, here's a crummy picture, it's always hard to take a good picture of an operating set, it's nice and bright, a little snowy but that's not the sets fault.

Strange, it doesn't seem to pick up very well, I could hardly get anything on the lower channels, almost like they weren't there at all...

Looks like it has a slight vertical size issue, no doubt it would adjust out if I wanted to open it up and do that, but I think I'll just put it away and recap it in 40 or 50 years.

Funny thing, Barbie must be a Lefty, the on/off volume control works in reverse, that is off is all the way to the right, on and volume is to the left!
