Hi I have a 5 1/2 inch TV Clock Radio. Its labelled as an ITC K-3706. ITC is supposedly Integrated Technology Centre based in Perth. I highly doubt this was made there so I am assuming it is a rebranded Asian made set. Do anyone know about these things? Regards Tim

Welcome Tim! You'll need to send Brad some pics. Depending on the date, it could have been made in Japan, Taiwan or Korea. There was (is?) a company in Taiwan called Kisho that made lots of these things. Biggest electronics manufacturer you've never heard of!

The 3706 part may be generic. Here's a NZ reference to Technica Model K-3706 TV / Alarm Clock / Radio. Note mention of burned out mains transformer, apparently being a common issue: https://classic-computers.org.nz/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1784 Here's an Italian Geloso GTR-3706: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shk1OTDYl6o

Yep, that's the same as the Geloso in the Italian video. Looks like a Kisho to me.

These were also sold by K-Mart, branded Audiosonic. Head office HongKong.(Capetronics). Did the warranty service for these in the 80's. Also seen as many other brands. JJ

I thought that it looked like a Trakton. I might have one at home. Will look. Wayne.

I thought that it looked like a Trakton. Trakton -- a brand of Austvale Pty Ltd Melbourne. Distributor of Asian sourced Trakton branded consumer entertainment products. Founded: 1972 Closed: 1991 Seems this 3706 was badge-engineered by quite a few companies.

I found my TV that looked like the ITC one in question. It is identical, but was not a Trakton, but a Hanimex CTV6. Wayne.

Yes it is a Kisho. The company is still around, they now make electricity meters. Pye used to use them for some of their products in the late '70s and the 80s.
