This CRT TV is so small. He's just tiny! The screen is only 5 inches (12 centimeters). I unpacked the package with the black and white TV and connected the VCR to it. It has a built-in radio and it works!
@@techandunbox_ I would have liked a small TV that could be taken with you on your travels, that uses an aerial attached, I know this would not be easy with a digital, freeview signal. You can get I Player, BBC Player and watch old programmes on your smartphone. I had an analogue TV I used in my caravan years ago that was ok but never great.
I bought one of these many years ago and still have it. The Television will not work because its built only to receive Analog signals. The Federal Communications Commission later made it mandatory that all broadcasts had to be sent in digital form only, thus making this type of T.V practically useless.
3:06 It may be interference as you stated, Technology Wins, or you may have either a demagnetized tape playing in your VCR or you need to adjust the tracking on your VCR to get rid of those wavy lines seen on the TV. It's also possible that the TV itself is providing some interference since it is placed right above where the VHS tape is being played.
I really like those small cathode ray tube TV's and I have five B&W versions myself. One of the coolest ones I have pops up out of a Panasonic AM/FM portable unit and another really cool one looks like a NASA space helmet from the late 1960's (the JVC Videosphere). Another interesting one I have from the 1980's or early 90's which was made by Curtis, I think, resembles a robot head that reminds me of Gort, the robot from 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' (1951). :)
0:06 I hate it when sellers have no clue how to ship electronics properly. Those bits of plastic bags don't cut it and it's a bloody miracle that the plastic portable B&W CRT TV arrived intact. It could easily have arrived in broken pieces and the tube itself could have been cracked. The only acceptable way to ship electronics is to wrap units generously in bubble wrap and inside sturdy cardboard boxes (properly taped closed, so they don't open during shipment) to protect them from impact, from being dropped, from being hit by heavier boxes in postal depots, etc. Ideally, heavier electronics should be double-boxed to provide additional protection, but tiny plastic bag bits? No way, man.
@@technologywins Since it has an analog tuner it was before 2010. Walgreens was selling them in 2003, so probably 2002 I had a pink one zI bought from some guy on the street for $5. He wanted $20 but of course I balked at that. I said "I'm not paying $20 for a TV that might not even work." I said " I'll risk five bucks on it. If it works great. If it doesn't I'm only out fove bucks. "
@@technologywins Walgreen's was selling them in 2002 but that particular size and design began manufacture in the late 80s. My brother had a pink one in his bathroom in 1990. Everything was the same except it was made with more durable materials and didn't have rounded corners. Have you tried using the model number to download the original manual?
@working683, it's a leap year, so it's not February 29th every year and perhaps Technology Wins was referring to how quickly time flies and February 29th came so quickly. :)
