Wanted on desperately but my parents said it was too expensive. I now suspect they thought I would be annoying with it.
This and one of those tiny portable tube tvs were my biggest purchasing ambitions.

Oh my God, yes those tiny TVs were the pinnacle of cool. It truly felt like you could be some sort of spy with all this cool tech.

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:

I remember this! I may have even had the pen version, but honestly it might be a false memory.

Is your sister named Karen?

They later had versions that would distort your voice. I have no idea why my parents bought us those.
LEONHART@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 2y
Hell yeah. I also somehow ended up with the voice distortion model and it was the best.

Pizza Hut gave away something like this as one of their toys. Loved it!
