TV Midget
In London last week, Britain's Sco-phony, Ltd. exhibited a new, lightweight (35 lbs.), antennaless TV receiver which can be moved from room to room and plugged into an electric socket. The set has a 7 1/2-by-6-in. screen and retails for -L-55 ($220). For an antenna the set uses the electric wiring system of the house. A cylindrical condenser is attached to the power cord to reduce interference. A booster inside the set steps up the sound and TV signals to the necessary strength. An aerial can be attached in areas of high interference.
Scophony plans to make four standard models and expand production within the next few months. Next step: an invasion of the U.S. and Canadian markets.
