Applications
Small portable AC/DC color televisions like the Sharp 9H102 were a popular product category in the early-to-mid 1980s, aimed at consumers who wanted a compact set for a kitchen counter, bedroom, or vehicle use. The 12V DC capability made them practical for use with a car battery or portable power pack. The RCA composite input — a thoughtful inclusion for 1984 — made the 9H102 directly compatible with the video game consoles of the era: the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Mattel Intellivision, and early home computers like the Commodore 64 all output a composite signal, and this TV accepts it without an RF modulator. Today these sets are sought after by retro gaming collectors and vintage TV enthusiasts who want a period-correct CRT display that accepts a direct composite connection from classic consoles, delivering the authentic scanline look those games were designed for.
This Sharp 9H102 AC/DC Color TV/Monitor has been tested and is in working order. The CRT displays a full color picture, as shown in the test-pattern photo. The unit is in very well-kept condition for its age, with light cosmetic wear consistent with normal use and storage. Both the AC power cord and loop antenna are included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
