Detailed information
Link: www.monocular.infoFrom 1994, Sony made this SRF-X90 Monocular Sports Radio. It was a 8x magnification monocular made for live sports viewing, with an AM/FM stereo radio. The idea was you could watch the sports event while listening to radio commentary through the earphones, complete with AVLS (automatic volume limiter system). Water-resistant. Worked on one AA battery.
One of these is available on Amazon UK at the time of writing.
Folding the Omelette
Dick once showed on Regis a set of Börnschaft copper-bottomed pots, all for $20. Instead of folding the omelette, Dick folded the frying pan, live on TV.
WTHII Game Show
In response to Leo's question whether WTHII could make a TV game show (Episode 610), Michael Richardson writes in to say that there was already such a show, Liar's Club. You can watch clips from the show on YouTube, such as this link.
