AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Italian Space Age televisions of this period (such as the Autovox Linea 1, the Brionvega Algol, or the Voxson Tini) are highly collectible in mid-century modern and vintage design markets (e.g., Catawiki, eBay, or specialty antique shops of the 1900s).
The value depends strongly on three factors:
1. Aesthetic Condition: From the photos the cabinet looks glossy, with no obvious cracks and the color doesn’t appear sun-faded, which is a strong point in its favor.
2. Operation: If it powers on and shows the 'fog' effect on the CRT, the value rises. (Note: to view today’s channels you would need an RF modulator and a decoder, but collectors are often interested in the presence of basic video/audio signal or simply the aesthetics).
3. Integrity: Presence of the original telescopic antenna on the back, original knobs and original power cable.
Imballato in 3/4 strati to avoid breakage
Weight over 20kg
