Step back into TV history with this Pilot TV-37, one of the first portable consumer televisions, manufactured in 1948 by Pilot Radio Corp. Long Island City, NY. This set powers on -the tubes glow and crackle, and a bright dot of light appears on the 3-inch screen (see photos). Beyond that, it is untested for reception or operation. 14.5″ W x 9.5″ H x 14 D. Original cord present, all four knobs intact. Shows scratches, scuffs, and age-related wear consistent with a 75+ year-old set (see photos for full condition). The Pilot TV-37 is highly collectible due to its unique compact design and status as one of the first affordable post-war TVs. Even as a display piece, these are sought after by collectors and mid-century enthusiasts alike.
