Never having run across one of these in the southwest, I was really pleased when we walked into a neighborhood antique store and saw it perched atop an uppermost shelf. Flush with cash and eager to add this to our vintage electronics collection, I succeeded in getting the owner to knock 1/4 off the asking price. Although I still don't think it's superior to the JVC Videosphere, Panasonic's Orbitel makes an effective argument.

Unfortunately, this one didn't come with a box, but we found an image online and figured it was worth including.
Here it is resting peacefully in its natural habitat: our den.

Great TV, and I love the knotty pine paneling too.
Thanks for the kind words. We've warmed up to the knots, too!
