Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for some of the amazing improvements on their Motorola Americana Portable Television. The largest picture shows the entire set while two smaller pictures concentrate on features they want to call your attention to. The headline says that “The handle is to tune with!” and the inset picture shows the two knobs located on the right side of the handle that control four functions. The bottom inset picture shows “…a new exclusive Super-sensitive antenna!” being extended by a female hand. The text explains that you will now be able to “see” the television screen while you are making changes to the controls and that you will get “big screen, big sound, big convenience and beauty”. The ad mentions that the model shown is 14P11-2 which has a 14″ diagonal picture tube.
