Here's a larger version of the same image found on the main Porta-Color page.

This close up of control panel should help illustrate the more modern lines of this particular set.

But as we remove the back cover...

You'll start to see..

...that it's still based in mid-1960's technology.

By the way, if you doubted how "portable" the PortaColor was, consider this comparison in size between this set and a typical early-1960's 21" round-tube color console-- which would have still been a typical color TV size when the PortaColor was originally introduced. Not only is the console very heavy, but those low-deflection round picture tubes make for a very deep cabinet-- it's over 27 inches from front to back. [In case you care, the console is a Philco 15M91.]
