It is not a TV with LC display, or TFT, or LED display. No. The TV brings the image by means of a cathode ray tube (Braun tube) to the eye of the beholder. And not in the brilliant color variety and resolution of today’s receivers, but in black and white (BW).<\/div>\n

The screen diagonal of 4.7 cm can be displayed with the help of a clip-on magnifier still a little enlarged.
\nThe receiver is a multinorm receiver that covered the European television standards.<\/p>\n

It was tuned manually by means of a side-mounted „rotary wheel“. The reception tapes VHF \/ UHF can be selected with a slide switch. Of course, only analog TV reception is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The power supply comes from four 1.5 volt AA batteries or from a power supply. At a power consumption of 2 watts is relatively fast on battery operation. The high voltage generation and heating of the flat screen tube is probably one of the biggest consumers of electricity.<\/p>\n

The structure of the boards is very discreet. There are hardly any integrated circuits. The large tuner module can be seen on the left in the picture. The supply of signals takes place exclusively via a telescopic rod antenna. A built-in speaker provides the sound. Optionally, a jack for connecting a headphone is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
