ATBW A-Tron

The ATBW A-Tron is a CRT TV that was made from 1950 to 2012. They were made with Aperture Grille CRT Tubes, unlike other companies which used shadow masks. However, the first Aperture Grille Based A-Tron would not be made until 1954. The very first ones (1950 - 1954) are rounded tube TV's that were compact and were very heavy despite the small screens and size. This was largely due to the speaker placed beside the tube, which was very good at delivering high fidelity which most other TV's at the time could not.

1950 - 1954
The first A-Tron used a round shadow mask picture tube that was no more than 10 inches big. The speaker was generally placed beside the tube on the right. Each one was made with a handle on top and high quality materials to ensure great lifespan over the years.

1954 - 1960
The A-Tron was redesigned in 1954 to have a more modern look, and a more modern style picture tube for the time. Later in 1956, they released the A-Tron Portable, which lasted until 1968.
