The ALGOL 3 (First series) is an unusual 11-inch portable transistor television. In 1964 Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper designed this Brionvega transient television model Algol 3 and marketed by the Milanese company Brionvega. It is characterized by the rounded and inclined screen (for this very reason Zanuso will compare it to a little dog looking up at its owner) and the removable metal handle. The device is made of BLACK ABS plastic material with beveled edges. The kinescope has a 90° deflection to allow easier viewing. In the upper part there are the operating controls for switching on, adjusting the volume, brightness and contrast, and selecting the pre-selected VHF and UHF channels. On the back of the television there are sockets for connecting to the mains, the internal rechargeable battery, the VHF and UHF channels, for an external speaker and the antenna selector. The ALGOL 3 is a global icon of industrial design, it is exhibited in the most important contemporary art museums, even the MoMa in New York houses an example. In perfect working order, there are some small signs caused by age. The TV needs to be tested as the power cable is missing.
