New Novel: Vintage Transistor Televisions

A new, full color book called Vintage Transistor Televisions, features 66 collectible portable, desk, and pocket TVs. Everything you need to know about television sets - the facts and figures, and over 100 images - from the `59 Philco Safari through the `80s LCDs and `flat` CRTs you can find in this book.

See all the great vintage transistor TVs - all in beautiful full color. This brand new 2006 book covers the portable television`s golden age, 1959 to 1989. It features an amazing array of all the collectible portable, desk, and pocket TVs.

Much of what`s in other books and on the web about these TVs is wrong, wrong, wrong. Now at last you can get really accurate information, in addition to seeing for yourself the fine details in large, excellent, crystal-clear photographs. You`ll see the `Tummy TVs` and the futuristic models like the Panasonic Orbitel `flying saucer`, JVC Videosphere and others. You`ll see the pocket-size portables with tubes on end, the `exec-tech` sets, the Sony Watchman models, and all three Sinclairs. The little LCD models are here too, both reflected-view and direct-view. You`ll see lots of rarities, including the ultra-rare Hitachi Cube, Sharp TRP-801, the 2nd-generation Videosphere, the Casio TV-50, and much more.
