Sony TV8-301 (1960-1962) was a small black and white television made by Sony. It is notable for being the world’s first non-projection type all-transistor television. It had an eight inch screen. It was also portable, having a bay in the back for two 6 volt lead acid batteries. It was priced high as it was innovative on multiple fronts, so, to the average consumer it was something of a luxury item and not a practical buy. #MadeInJapan #SpaceDesign #Sixties #Television #JapaneseDesign
