Sanyo 3" Beam Index Color TV - A picture at Last!

[jhalphen]

Hi WISCOJIM,

Thanks! for the reply.

Did you ever get any confirmation on whether or not these ever made it into production? And if so, what market? USA? Europe? Japan?

I've spent half the day tracking down my 2008 Sanyo contact, a Japanese-speaking US citizen, now at Sanyo HQ in san Diego, California. I've sent him the pictures and hope for some help.

As far as i know, the TV was sold only in the US. Strangely enough, not in Japan. I've been watching Yahoo! Japan for over a year now (Thanks! to Eckhard) and have seen none. As for Europe - just forget it!

Have you found a schematic yet?
Unfortunately, no.

Size: corrected Jan 2022 measured on actual unit by E-Type2
8" 15/16 Height x 4" 5/8 Width (5" 13/16 with battery) and 1" 3/4 inches Depth

In metric, this equates to: Height-22.70cm x Width-11.74cm (14.7cm with battery) x Depth-4.44cm.

Yup! big beast compared to a WatchMan, but take into consideration that it was mid-eighties technology - still much more lightweight than say, a GE PortaColor.
