Look what $289.90 used to get you

Of course antenna was extra and the damn thing was not cable ready.

Wow--"truly portable" sure did mean something different back then. And is that a military guy or a pilot holding it? Either way, I'd want those people watching the road, as it were, NOT watching TV.

Does it come with that suit?

"Space Age" battery pack. Wow. I think you might have to take over my "The Future, the way it used to be" feature.

These ads are great!

The Space Age Battery Pack is not called a "pack" for nothing. Now that's a man-purse! Better than carrying your own satellite dish and solar panels, I guess.

Looks like a young Captain Kangaroo. I'd spring for the $289.90 just to be able to have the Captain with me wherever I went. As long as Mr. Moose and Mr. Green Jeans came along too.

It only weighs 13 1/2 pounds!*

Back in the day when "portable" meant it had a handle on top.


*without the "space age" battery pack.
