This was one of my most prized possessions as a kid—right up until my sister stole it and traded it for a Cheese String at school.

    When I was a kid I had one of those. My parents bought it from a TV repair store. It was a combination 6" TV, audio tape player, and am/fm radio.

    It was about 2 feet by 2 feet and about 8 inches thick. It weighed about 20 pounds. It has a carry handle though so I guess it was “portable”…

      They had even smaller ones, too. I remember seeing them in the Sears catalog.

      I remember them looking sort of like this:
