The things you find browsing wantads in Spain (PORTACOLOR)

I just came across this for 80€. I'll have to have it shipped, which makes me nervous. But it's on my list of TVs I'd like to have, and it's a decent price, so...

This is the first gen, right? No other pics available.

Looks 2nd gen to me. If it is it WILL have a focus control.
Will give a MUCH better pix than the 1st gen sets which were real toilets IMHO.

Great, thanks! It's three and a half hours from me so looks like vacation this year is going to be a daytrip to the middle of nowhere.

Well, after twelve hours in the car yesterday, and escaping the region's quarantine by mere minutes, the PortaColor is mine! Guy selling it has a TV repair shop in La Rioja. When I walked in he had it sitting on the bench running. (!)

So I handed over the money, he handed over the TV, and gave me a first-generation betamax for my trouble.
