VINTAGE JVC VIDEOSPHERE 3240 SPACE TV~TELEVISION~RARE

This auction is for a VINTAGE JVC VIDEOSPHERE 3240 SPACE TV~TELEVISION~RARE. The JVC Videosphere is a small black and white television receiver mounted in a cream colored plastic spherical casing. It was designed in house by JVC around 1969 and was inspired by the images of the activities of the space race in particular the space helmet. The Videosphere comes mounted on a squat platform but may be disengaged from that and suspended in "space" from the chain secured to the top of the sphere. Its space age styling sought to remake the television which so often (design wise) turns into a mundane household consumer item. The Videosphere is an attractive alternative for the youth market, new homemakers and apartment dwellers where "space" is a premium. Controls for channel tuning, contrast, brightness, vertical and horizontal hold and volume are mounted at the top of the unit in a small recess. There is also a chain that the unit can be hung from, an antenna and entry for an earplug. The power cord comes out of the back of the unit. The whole sphere sits in an cream colored cradle mounting that is a squat square shape and the sphere can be secured to this or released from it. Screen size is approximately 9" (diagonal). TV is in good working order but does need some cleaning and TLC. This Funky TV is very rare!
