First find of 2009
Scored big time today at the SA!
I was looking through the electronics section at the Salvation Army this afternoon when I spotted this, I couldn't believe my eyes! It works perfectly, has no damage other than a few light marks that will polish out easily. It was half off today so it cost me a whopping 10.00!

Yep, I'd say you done real good! Isn't that from the mid '70's? I'll be hitting up my SA in the morning. I've got a feeling that 2009 will be a good year for finding older TV's.

I'm jealous!!!!
Great find  Is that one pink or white; can't tell from the photo? Those are very collectible these days. I had blue one about 15 years ago when they weren't collectible, and wish I'd kept it. Those are even more rare than the Sony version (KV-4000), I think.Charles

Interesting little TV. It looks newer than '75. Maybe closer to '82 or '83 possibly? What is that video in white letters mean?

This one is white, pink would be cooler but hey, I'm not complaining.
It's from 1986. Several makers had bright colorful sets during the 80's, including Quasar who had a line of 13"? cube shaped sets with a remote that looked like a small TV, I wouldn't mind a collection of those either.

IIRC, those l'il guys were made in ivory, silver, black & T!tty-Nipple Pink. I have 2-Pink & Ivory. The ivory seems to have gotten a yellowish cast to it over the years. Both have EXCELLENT pictures on 'em, though. They turn up infrequently on You-Know-Where. Both of mine are in excellent cosmetic shape other than the yellowing on the ivory one, I got the impression neither one saw a lot of use. And just for the record, they are from the mid-'80s.

Eric,
I have one of the Quasar (Panasonic) cube tv's but am missing the rare matching remote for it. Luckily another Quasar remote i had around will work it. It has that fantastic "panacolor" picture that Panasonic was known for. -Tony

Wow, nice score for 10 bucks!
Tony V, I love those 'cube' Quasars... I had two at one point, a '85 and '86.... one was pink and one was white (yellowed  ) but neither had a working remote.....I managed to get one working but the pink one was a trashfind so it was long gone. Both got tossed due to lack of space....
