Funny Commercial BIG SCREEN TV 1970's

Another very funny classic vintage commercial from the 1970's. The quality of this product looks like a few pieces of wood with a mirror to increase the size of the screen. Even in the 1970's people were desperate for large screen TV's. This commercial ran in the Baltimore and Philadelphia areas.

@MrOwwl Well.. I grew up in the 70's and... believe it or not... we had VIDEO games. The first game I had was called pong... then Atari 2600.. This commercial actually ran in the Philadelphia area in 1979. It is real.

They tried selling these on the internet just a few years ago- didn't know this concept had been around that long. Notice that they NEVER show you what the finished product looks like.

I saw one of these in a bar once a long time ago, it worked but the picture was terrible!

If the product is as good as the TV ad. they is in trouble.(I say is because this IS 1973 right?)

i built one of these with a 13 inch tv around 1990... it worked but the room had to be totally dark... main problem nowhere near bright enough... picture was pretty bad.. what do you expect for 40 bucks. they sent you a plastic freznel lense and instructions how to build the box around your screen.. it took a about an hour..

"Television of the future"? It wasn't even the television of the next 15 minutes! This looks like a put-up job to me (so it must be authentic).
