We had one of those, even smaller, I think. I don't remember so much space on the right for knobs and dials.
Ours was 7" screen, portable (if you had a long enough extension cord   ;D  ), with a white case, and showed everything in glorious black-and-white.

The first color TV we got was a "yuge" 19-inch monster. My excuse for getting it was that I needed a monitor for my new Commodore 64 computer.

But all that was way back in the days when making a telephone call meant that first I looked for the crank which you turn to ring the operator...

If you turn it on and get a face on it, you'll have an echo of Friedlander. He used to do that, I think in motels when he was on the road. Same kind of early TV.

I love those motel photos by Friedlander.

Damn! There really isn't anything new under that Sun (or Moon). I think this was around the time of one of the Paris bombings.
