Description
Awesome vintage 1970’s Panasonic model TR-005 black and white portable television. Great space age design with Mod gray plastic body, swivel base, rabbit ear antennae, and dial controls for volume, contrast, brightness, tuning, horizontal hold, and vertical hold. Measures about 11” tall, 11” across, and has about a 5” diagonal screen.
TV is in very good cosmetic condition: there are a few small scratches and scuffs here and there, the antennae are a little bent, and there is one ding on the edge at the top of the screen, shown in close up photos. No major nicks, cracks, or other damage. Swivel base works fine. I tested it hooked up to a digital converter box via an antenna adapter connected to the VHF screws (antenna adapter seen in photos is included).

Controls all work, except they are a little finicky and crackly, as you can hear on the volume control at about 28 seconds in on the video – TV had been sitting for years; a good professional cleaning and tune up would most likely take care of this. Due to the age of the piece, it is being sold as is, though it is guaranteed not to arrive DOA. Overall a super retro television, offered with no reserve.
