A unit like this would be practical for a security officer working night shifts. Just fire it up if he's feeling drowsy/sleepy.

I think I saw a unit like this in 2006 at a local supermarket, it 3was branded Nu-Tec I think, and it was very cheap, maybe $30 or something. I think Tandy also sold something like this in around 1998. I have actually seen Samsung portable radio/TV that I think could charge rechargeable batteries.

Nice video! BTW Your unit may have been made in 2001. But this "bubble style" CD/TV/Boombox is actually a mid 1990s design. Several brands made them during the 90s. But I started seeing these far less often in the 2000s. I suspect your unit may have been one of the final batches manufactured before being discontinued.
And I owned one of these "bubble style" CD/TV/radio combo boomboxes during the mid to late 1990s. It was very convenient as I lived in a small space. I didn't have room for a big TV. I also played my Nintendo 64 on it.

Thanks very much! And you're right, the sort of "bubble" curvature I remember being quite vogue in the 90s, bleeding into the early 2000s. My cousins had a lot of CD / Cassette boomboxes in this same style, but I had never seen one with a TV built in.
Ah, good use for it :) I love finding combo units like this because I wonder who came upon what circumstance that made them figure "I need this, and I'm sure others do too." CRTs I remember being bulky the larger they got, so a small tube like this is just right for a small space, especially if it has radio / CD functionality. Awesome!
