Panasonic TR-005 portable TV

pictures of the Panasonic portable TV that I have.

It was mint in box, but I lost the box a few years ago.

Incredible how things were well built years ago, this little equipment still works perfectly and never asked for any service.

Nice vintage TV Thomas!

The shape of your tv reminds me of Stewies head! (from The Family Guy) lol!

Age?

Very cool! Any build date printed on the serial number tag?

I don't know it's age, maybe mid 60's or early 70's.

My father bought it to his office and forgot it in a closet for many years. The box was never open until a few years ago.

I have that exact TV

It was sold from 1971/72. My Aunt Helen bought it for me for my 8th birthday. I have it proudly displayed in my media room, and yes, it still works. What a fun set. I remember as a kid watching All in the Family, the Brady Bunch and even Nixon resigning on it.

Panasonic referred to it as the "Orbitel" in their advertisments.
