Diorama of Old Home with Working 1.5-inch TV

This well-crafted replica of a Showa era Japanese home actually has a working 1.5-inch color television set in it. The knobs on the side are for turning the set off and on, and adjusting the volume, and A/V inputs on the back let you watch movies or play video games or whatever. I don't know why you'd want to, but . This is one of those rare collector's items that is sold out on Amazon.jp and probably will never be restocked. But it's pretty fucking cool anyway, plus it reminds me of the TV my brother used to watch "Home Alone" on, like 10 times a week when he was in elementary school.
