just got one at a thrift store, the Memorex one, for just $5.20. Had to look all over the shelves for the AC power cord and found it on the other side of the store by the only wall outlet allowed for testing.
i had a 5 inch black and white Television when i was 14 or 15 years old. i won that tv in a lottery.. i was very very happy with that TV !!! Now i am 31, i have every modern gadgets and electronics now.. but i can't fell that much excitement or enjoyment...
Nice! I just bought one for $4 (offered) and it came with its power adaptor. Mint too. It had a monitor function so I plugged a surveillance camera into it. It worked fine at first but a bar kept flashing across and it was distorting the picture, but it still does the job. I really like it.
There's also the brand name for the Radio Shack Portavision is RCA 5 Inch Color TV, that was made in around in 2002. Catalog number 16-3000, it's also made in Malaysia.
I love it... it’s very similar to my Magnavox model RD0510 C103. I wonder if it was made by the same company? I guess since it was made in 1995 the evolution was different. Funny, my Mom said “This is my favorite TV! Don’t ever give this away!!” LYM !
I have one of the old black and wight type mine was Christmas gift and was not to be working. its and tmk potable TV, radio form October 1984 and works like new and it has 2" speaker such sounds very good and plays the radio better then most new radios I have and the CRT is very very clear better then my first LCD TV. I use the old two screws antenna to hock up to a DVD VCR to watch stuff on it a video on my TH-cam channel shows it off called 1984 TV.
I'm sure Tandy sold a similar portable TV to this one in Australia in the mid 90s, I don't remember if they had this model in 1998, but they very well may have. I know they had a colour portable TV that had automatic scan tuning that looked similar to this one, I'm sure I saw it in like 1994 or 1995. Tandy sold heaps of portable TV sets, most of them were black and White, some were colour though. Tandy had a number of models which had things like AM?FM radios and tape recorders and things like that.
+Lachlant1984 There is an Australian importer address on the back of the set, maybe the exact same model was on sale in Australia, I do remember Tandy in the UK selling sets like these, including a boombox with a 5" TV tube!
+Lachlant1984 We used to have Tandy stores here in the UK back in the 80's and 90's. They were a part of the Radio Shack Company based in Fort Worth Texas. However, even though these sets were available to buy backthen, they are now extremely rare, and almost completely useless in this digital tv age.
Gary Dunn Maplin (and to a lesser extent Clas Ohlson) have take over from where Tandy left off (in the case of Maplin, all the way down to the rip off prices) You'd think they'd learn considering we can go to the likes of Alibaba and order the stuff direct from China, the only USP Maplin have is they have shops where you can pick stuff up straight away.
I don't know if I ever told you this or not, but I actually remember seeing a TV like this at Tandy in around 1994, probably an earlier version of this one, I think it had many of the same features and same controls. Of course I know you don't have this TV anymore.
Nice finding NOS (New Old Stock) product at the Yard Sale. =) Speaking of NOS, In summer of this year, I went to Yard Sale to find something interesting, I found the NOS of 1996 RCA Thompson Consumer Electronics Portable CD player and it's never been used, and I figured that I want to keep inside the box that is new. Plus it's made in Malaysia which it's okay. And speaking of Portable TV, if it has 5" Monochrome TV with both RF and Component, then I can use them as a Surveillance Camera which that will work for me. =)
Any screen device that is tube based has a component inside called a capacitor. It is similar to a battery because it stores an electric charge. Capacitors for CRT televisions and monitors have enough electricity in them to kill a grown man, which is why there is a warning about electrical discharge. There is not enough power in the batteries or line current to make that television start up, hence the need for the capacitor. Capacitors are also used to start air conditioners for the same reason...
Preface: I have an electrical engineering degree - I know how capacitors work. The CRT *is* the capacitor. The construction of the CRT allows it to store a small but very high voltage charge.
@@themaritimegirl Sorry. You sounded young in the video. I thought you were a teenager, or very early twenty something not only because of your voice, but also since so many people in that age group are interested in vintage electronics and electronics in general. Not like when I was a teen or early twenty something...
Thanks for the video of this set ...Its too bad it failed on you ... I think the Samsung Tube could have been saved with a Sencore CR70 or CR7000 or BK precision 470 Rejuvenator ..
I noticed the addresses for InterTAN Australia and InterTAN UK on the back of that set, would that suggest that the set is dual standard colour, both PAL and NTSC? (possibly triple standard for SECAM too which it would have needed for places like France) that might explain the high price. Of course it's only useful as a monitor now in all three countries as they've all gone digital. And if you're thinking about the high pitched CRT whine, try the flicker, especially 50Hz flicker, it wasn't until I'd seen a CRT for the first time in ages that I'd noticed the flicker. I remember getting a black and white 5" TV for about £10 about fifteen years ago. They seemed to be available everywhere! Maplin, Tandy's spiritual successor sell little LCD TVs (which built in Freeview, natch) they cost a bit more than a tenner...
I doubt it, as I would expect such a set to be clearly advertised as such, and I'm pretty sure it would need a manual switch to switch between the standards.
+themaritimeman well, there would have been no way of knowing other than taking this set between the UK and Canada. If the same set was being exported to all 3 countries it would need to be dual standard, though I guess it could be possible for the same shell to be used around two (or even three) different motherboards. I remember TVs back in the day being advertised as dual standard, I also remember using a TV with an Amiga 1200 which was software switchable between PAL and "NTSC" modes (really PAL through the modulator, it really just switched between 50Hz and 60Hz) _some_ TVs would automatically lock on and switch sync rates, maybe that TV was capable of that, not sure how you'd find out today though.
What cable did you use to hook up your devices? When I use a hdmi to rca converter, the screen appears black and white. Does anyone have the same problem too?
@@themaritimegirl hey can you email. I real don’t know what any of that is. It has an external input. I can send a pic of the tv. Brttnshell25@gmail.com
that is cool now you if you have them there can hook a converter box up to it and use it today . cool. you can get a car power invert er so now in a emergency wen you need to go out of town you can plug the converter box in to the car and use it wen you need it
I have this tv at home but I can t use it since they changed the signal to digital I bought a zinnia digital converter but I don t know what to do can you hn elp me?
There are a number of ways to get this to work. The easiest would be to get a 75-300ohm antenna to coaxial converter and then attach that to an RF modulator and then you can plug anything with RCA jacks into that. Make sure the TV is set to the same channel as the RF modulator.
These old analogue TV's are useless now, what with most countries receiving digital signals. This would have to be connected to a digital tuner for it to work these days. I have a 5.5 inch black & white set brand new still in the box, but itwill be getting dumped very soon, for this very reason. It has no scart connector on the back, so it cannot be connectedto a digital tuner.
Useless? Far from it. This unit and most older TV's can still be connected to DVD players, DVRs, game consoles, etc. quite easily. If one wishes to do so, of course. I can see where TVs with just a built-in antenna would fall short, though. A fellow TH-camr who collects vintage TVs actually owns a decommissioned television modulator that transmits a low-power UHF signal, so any TV can wirelessly receive whatever he wishes to transmit.
+themaritimeman Yeah, but lets get real here, how many people have a decommissioned UHF modulator?If you have one of these old sets, then either dump them, or donate them to a science museum. The one Ibought for around £25 or around $37 (US) is now totally useless, it only has RCA audio and video inputs onthe rear. OK, if you want to use it as a tv monitor, but forget it for receiving regular digital signals.
+Gary Dunn It must be really old if it doesn't have a SCART connector. And SCART to phono adaptors do exist. Even on ancient TVs that only have an RF input, an old video recorder will have RF out and other AV inputs, it just means that you'd have to turn on the VCR to watch anything on the TV. Though to be fair, those old VCRs are hard to find nowadays, even though you can still buy the tapes.
+GeoNeilUK Analog signals are received using the old style RF (Analogue signal) These are now obsolete, and the digital signal is not received and processed by this method. You just can't plug in an Antenna and expect itto receive a digital signal with the old style analogue tuner. If the set does not have A/V inputs or SCART inputsfor a digital tuner, then it will not work. The set I have was made in the far east in the early 2000's. and theywere being sold off at £25 each, or around $32 (US) for a 5.5 inch just 5 years ago. Ok, so the Radio still worksbecause they are still transmitting analogue signals, but forget tv reception. These things are now useless.
Gary Dunn "Analog signals are received using the old style RF (Analogue signal)" Old style RF in the UK = PAL, digital broadcast signals, whether they be Freeview, Satlellite or Cable or still received by RF (Radio Frequency) just the frequnency depends on the medium. HDMI is the digital equivalent if SCART (or S-Video or Phono or even VGA if you prefer) "These are now obsolete, and the digital signal is not received and processed by this method. You just can't plug in an Antenna and expect itto receive a digital signal with the old style analogue tuner." But that's down to the tuner. A digital receiver witrh an analogue modulated RF output will display analogue signals derived from digital TV. Hence why I suggested connecting a Freeview (or even a Sky) receiver via SCART sonnector to an old VCR with RF output, the digital receiver will convert its digital signal to analogue for output over SCART (SCART is an analogue connector, not a digital one) and then the VCR will modulate it over a UHF frequency for output to the old TV. "If the set does not have A/V inputs or SCART inputsfor a digital tuner, then it will not work." Unless you have a modulator, like that found on old VCRs, or available separately. Just tune the analogue tuner to the output of the VCR/modulator. "The set I have was made in the far east in the early 2000's. and theywere being sold off at £25 each, or around $32 (US) for a 5.5 inch just 5 years ago.

I wouldn't know, you still get a radio out of the deal (and an RF modulator still makes TV reception possible) and besides, digital radio is shite in the UK, you're better off installing TuneIn on something that has a 3.5mm audio jack.
$200? That's quite pricey for a set with completely analogue controls and no switcher. It is color, but you'd think color tubes would have been down in price by '98.
+Rebelkid1112 Yeah, but you'll notice the importer addresses for the UK and Australia which use a completely different analogue colour standard to the US and Canada. In North America you used NTSC, UK and Australia used PAL. The importer addresses suggest that the set supports at least both of those standards, the circuitry to support both colour systems might have out the price up, by how much I don't know and I'm assuming that both PAL and NTSC support are in there because I'd assume that a Canada/NTSC only model would have UK and Australia addresses.
+GeoNeilUK Yeah, I think the clue was in the way the word "Colour" was spelled on the box. It was mean't forthe UK or Australian market. Nevertheless, now that we have all gone digital, these old Analogue sets are completely useless, except as museum exhibits.
Gary Dunn Yeah, but there's a Canadian address on there too, the uploader called colour the Canadian spelling (which makes sense as Canada is a Commonwealth country) and he did demonstrate the set successfully coping with an American issue DVD player through composite video which I'm assuming would be outputting NTSC (which Canada used to use as well)
Nice! I just bought one for $4 (offered) and it came with its power adaptor. Mint too. It had a monitor function so I plugged a surveillance camera into it. It worked fine at first but a bar kept flashing across and it was distorting the picture, but it still does the job. I really like it.
