Now collecting small solid state sets. Have I lost my mind!!?

Thanks for the clarification, Eric. Generally, these type of sponsorship programs just require a click on the link to receive the credit, not an actual sale. Click away, folks! Support the site!

Thanks. I was wondering about it since I had never seen that on this site. Another site I go to has something similar but it hits on a lot more words and is/was a real nuisance, but it had an easy way to disable it.

Yours is the AC-only version, sold primarily as a kitchen TV! Seems I recall it came with a swivel base? Mine operates on AC, and has a DC input and accessory cigar lighter power cord. At the time I thought it would be a good idea to have a TV that would run on 12VDC.

Well I have a lone small solid state but not 100% solid state tv as I'm sure it has a rectifier tube as the high voltage takes a couple of seconds to come up like a tube is warming up.It's a late 60s RCA 12 b/w".I was gonna post this earlier with pictures and chassis no. but I got tied up helping my boss with his boat.

I probably rescued this tv from the garbage as it was left on the tables by even the scavengers at Wilsons Auction in Lincoln,DE. The scavengers usually look for and take unwanted items left by the buyers at the end of the night and usually the rest goes in the dumpster. I tried this little tv and it worked fine.This was before the transition so I could actually get reception without a digital converter box.

So I adopted the little tv and I decided to keep it.

Wonder if the two used the same chassis, may not be hard to get DC operation into this one?
