RCA TRK-12

The RCA TRK-12 is a combined television and radio receiver introduced by RCA at the 1939 New York World's Fair, alongside three less expensive sets. Its 12-inch picture tube was mounted vertically, because the tube was too long to fit horizontally in a practical cabinet, and viewers watched the picture reflected in a mirror in the cabinet lid. It sold for $600.
