Swivels and tilts on its own base...or hangs like a mobile from its carrying chain to give you the best viewing angle from any position. Big 38 square inch (9-inch diagonal) glare-free screen for personal or group viewing. Sharp black and white 83-channel reception.
Came in multiple colors including "Moon White" and "Mars".

Notes
Model 3241 included an alarm clock in the base. The 3240AUL is 240V 50Hz.
Repair Notes
One unit would not turn on or would very intermittently turn on due to a dirty power switch pot. Spraying inside the power switch pot with contact cleaner fixed it.
