I wonder if these were subject to screen burn in. I understand it's a projector with a 13 inch tv as it's source. My question is. If the tv has image retention would that show up on the projection screen? Amazing content as always. Hope you're doing well. Have a happy and safe holiday.

Amazing history lesson. Thank you so much for sharing.

Right on!

Thanks for history lesson we really live in the future.

AWESOME!

That's so cool I'm glad you will continue to take care of it like the previous owner obviously did. I would love to visit a museum full of these rare pieces from the past.

VTR... Are you implying that video came on reel to reel? I've never heard of that. I assumed using the term VTR was to include both VHS and Beta Max (Sony's proprietary video tape of the era)

Sony was so ahead of their time

I have never seen one of these before. Pretty cool tech for the 70’s.

Its like havin a thee ate er

I love the look of the basement. I love 70s,80s and 90s retro furniture, games, movies,vhs,laser disc,tvs the like. Great video!

Great basement dude great basement i love it .

Man, Sony used to make all kinds of cool gadgets and gizmos…all that seems to be left nowadays are boring TVs and the PlayStation 😢

I saw one of these as well as a Betamax at the home of a very rich guy. I was looking at your “Now Playing” board on the wall and thought it would be cool if “Home Alone” would be replaced with “A Christmas Story “ since “Black Christmas” and “A Christmas Story” were both directed by Bob Clark…

Ese fue el primero o antes hubo otros!!!

I could see Elvis having something like this in the last year of his life.

The picture quality is so good!!

My scout master had one.. he was an architect

youre living in a goldmine! i'd be scared of water flood, so i would try to get as much as i can off that floor. you might wanna set up some water sensors down there as insurance.

just realized you have a youtube channel, always followed your ig posts. i'm all in now. You sound like you live in the south, TN, GA or LA?

None of the tvs nowadays will never last for 50+ years. 😢

Amazing

I just heard about one of these and was the projection TV before the one everyone knows about and I want one so bad now be a amazing retro gaming tv

the house I grew up in had that audio system for talking to members of the house etc so cool! man I miss that house had a record player etc mounted in a closet off the entryway folks had a zenith 27inch on a swivel and a little t rinitron as well

That projector is awesome and your channel is siiiiiiick

It’s untrue that you don’t need to focus it. You still need to focus it every time you moved the cabinet.

Just found you...this channel rocks!!

Thee-ATE-errr

Very cool TV, glad your preserving media history. 👌🏼

time machine. kudos, sir. stay young at heart.

Thank you for sharing your finds. What is the camera beside the Apple?

That pamphlet is hilarious. They say it has a 40" picture tube. It actually has a 40" projection screen. The tube is whatever is in that Trinitron

136 Kg in weight. Wow

There was a rich girl when I was younger that would invite a bunch of us over for movie nights and her parents had one of these but it was a wide screen version and much bigger from what I remember. Her family also had movies way before they were out on vhs it was crazy.

why i just know about this channel ! 😢

what a terrible picture

My mother has this same tv in her garage. It’s been there for over 30 years. I loved this tv growing up. The first time I watched the original A nightmare on elm street was on this tv. Brings back memories.

I would theme each room according to film genre, Horror, Sci-Fi and Action.

I wonder if elvis presley had one of these he had some kind of true beam tv in his basement there is a cool shot of his daughter downstairs watching it some were online.

What an amazing collection and an amazing space for everything!! Love the look of the basement and all the care you’re giving all this vintage tech. Thanks for the tour!

Coolest thing I’ve seen in a long long time. Just totally cool man 👍👍👍

Looks like the local drug dealers house from 1987

Hard to believe it's only 40 inches! I use a 42" 4K TV right now as one of my computer monitors, which I sit 2-3 feet from. Although you probably gain more than 100 square inches by it being 4:3 aspect ratio vs my 16x9 monitor. I guess the whole cabinet and design makes it feel larger. Would have been dope back then though. Especially if you sit a proper distance (pretty far), like we used to back in the day with CRTs. My first big screen TV was a 4:3 HDTV rear projection CRT, 50 inch, which seemed huge at the time. That thing was over $4000, and was one of the cheaper TVs, compared to others at the time. Wonder how much this thing went for.

What’s it like with a better source than 80’s video tape? Could be cool for retro gaming, a 40 inch in 1976 is insane whatever the input 😮

Nice looking set 👌👌👌

Really cool basement set up you have there , all you need is some vintage godess oil rain lamps hanging from some of those corners would look really cool.

This video came on my stream randomly. You may have hit the KZbin algorithm perfect here. Thanks for making this video, it was a neat TV view. The brightness, I wonder if the bulb is not as bright as it should be. Maybe it was replaced with a different wattage bulb at some point in its life.

Looks like something a gangster would own 😂

I've seen similar TV's like this growing up. I was never really impressed by the picture they produced. For best results the room needed to be dimmed and there were often alignment issues. Still you weren't going to go bigger without something like this.

It’s funny how are mind perceives things over time with technology. A 40 inch tv was considered huge even in the 90s when I was growing up. So I can imagine walking into someone’s house in the 70s and seeing one of these things and thinking what a massive screen it is lol. I have a 43 inch tv in my room and I was just thinking the other day how small it was lol how times have changed.
