If this TV ever died, it just became the TV stand for a new model without the console. Just stick it on top! Easier than trying to move this thing out
I remember waiting for the tubes to heat up.
The crackle of the static electricity… Ah yeah.
I just repaired a 2004ish crt and had forgotten that noise. Also, holy crap I also forgot about the high voltage >_<
I was gifted a Heathkit TV that looked just like this, long after it went out of fashion. But a free TV was a pretty big score back then, so I used it for years. The remote control used audible high pitched tones to communicate with the TV.
My grandma had one of these. She eventually got a new TV, and used this as a stand for it. Just a tablecloth hid what it really was.
Off topic, but have you seen the PC-Coffee Maker?
Wow, when you said off-topic, you weren’t underselling it!
Although I would argue it could count as baked in furniture. Fancy wood slats. I almost thought it was a Fractal North case.
We literally had this model, or very fuckin close. Ours had the push buttons and remote slot hidden behind the right hand side door
Curtis-Mathis, Zenith, Quasar, RCA, Philco - good times!
No shit: in the early 80s - like, 83? my dad bought one of these GIGANTIC sets. You could answer the phone through it.
