Pilot 3 inch TV.
#1

Not sure where to post this, but I'll start here. I travelled about 2 hours today to get to what was supposed to be a very large flea market being done to help a pet shelter. Well, it was large, but barely anything I was interested in besides an over-priced Victrola that had been painted brown. On the way back home, I found an antique store and stopped in there. Definitely more interesting and bigger inside than I thought it was. I was feeling like I was going to strike out though, until I found this sitting on one of the tables.[attachment=0]

I have heard of these little guys and have even seen pictures of a few, but to see one in the flesh is really neat! I called a friend and asked his advice and he said to grab it for the price, even though the CRT condition is not known. I am broke now, but glad I got the little TV. Even if it never works, it is such an interesting piece and so small for its time. Wish the picture tubes for them weren't so rare.

No matter where you go, there you are.
