VK-5 KinetThe Kinet was designed as a "slave" receiver, connected to a master receiver, the Videor, which had the majority of the electronic components. The Kinet has only 4 tubes: two 4 pin 879s, one 57, and one 5 pin with no markings. One of the uses for the Kinet was to be in department stores, where several were to be installed to advertise products. The set uses a 5 inch CRT, with a magnifying lens. Here are photos of the only known surviving set:
