"Here is battery-powered television in a small, transistor receiver to take—and use—wherever you go ",
"Philco is first, by virtur of remarkably imaginative engineering. Its production lines are now stamping out the Safari, a leather-covered, transistor-packed showbox that does tricks with mirrors (honest!) to make a respectably sized picture even in seashore sunshine. / The Safari portable weighs 15 pounds, measures about 8 1/2 by 16 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. The picture area is 80 square inches—same as an orginary 14-inch screen. It runs on batteries (which can be recharged at home) or on house current. The price is not outrageous for such a seductive adult toy: $255. ",
"The other TV-makers are close behind. All have been teasing the public with handbuilt experimental models. GE and RCA expect to get into production by winter. The Japanese, who have come to be darn clever with transistors, may beat that schedule. The hottest rumor has Toshiba selling battery TV sets in the U. S. this summer—and for around $125. "
