Vintage Motorola electrostatic television from the late 1940s, featuring the classic Bakelite cabinet and round magnified viewing screen. Early televisions like this used a small CRT with a magnifying lens to enlarge the picture, giving it its distinctive “porthole” look.
A beautiful piece of early television history with great industrial design. The cabinet has a rich brown finish with gold accents and the original knobs are present. The interior components appear complete (see photos).
Perfect for collectors of vintage electronics, early television, or mid-century technology displays.
