Description
Black and white 10″ x 14″ ad for their Seventeener Portable Television. Across the top of the page is the claim that this set “Packs the ‘Picture Punch’ of a Console” and shows a slim lady with a smile on her face holding this set in one hand. The ad shows the Philco 3034 set and gives the dimensions of the screen. It calls these sets “The Long Distance Champion of Portables” and talks about the Solarized Filter Lens, the Bantam Power Plant and the Outrigger Aerial. The text mentions a starting price for these television sets of as little as $119.95 and talks about the Rough Rider 3-way portable radio which had a starting price of $29.95, less batteries.
