    Just having a little fun, with my mini's, unfortunately I'm still having trouble with my Zealous TV Transmitter so I can't have some good zombie movies playing, fortunately my hockey team is playing on the big TV and not acting like zombies.

    The little Panasonic TV looks like it takes a normal wall wart plug but it has square edges so my round ends won't fit and the battery compartment is for a rechargeable battery.

    What collection isn't complete without the National Panasonic RX-2700, it oozes cool even after eating batteries, this one is a little crusty but it has a ton of buttons and the build is top notch, it's very similar to the JVC MR-200's behind it but just a tad nicer.

    I'll just settle for my Casio 2.2" pocket-size... The screen may be relatively small compared to the total case size, and the resolution may leave something to be desired, but it's cool-factor still ranks high out of shear "cuteness".:wink2

    I've got a few Casio's around here somewhere and they really pulled no stops when they went all in on them although most of them are second or third generation with lighter build quality and LED screens. I picked up the other units for very lo-dough and now that I can actually use them I'm very excited, my Roadshow has been playing youtube music videos, just like the old days.

    Had chance to get a 4" model, like I'd seen in a Whoopi Goldberg movie, from a local Savers... but passed on it for forgotten reasons. At least I found vintage Watchman with the B&W "lollipop" picture tube at a estate sale, cheap! :thumbsup:

    Do you know the monochrome wrist-T.V. seen on "Halt And Catch Fire"? I remember the first time I saw one--on display in a mall-store window. With watches gaining all-sort of additional functions at the time, that was one that really floored me!... until I saw the separate hip-pack fully-analog tuner it required to work in an article in Popular Mechanics shortly after. :nonoplease

    Not only do I have my original Casio, but I found a nearly mint version a few years ago. Those were so fun back then before the keyboards started coming out. Even using my Apple II+ with it's mono speaker to crank out some music was fun.
