In Reply to: My earliest recollections . . . posted by mr grits on August 22, 2011 at 15:42:24:
My first experience was about 1948. My uncle Stanley had a set that was about 9 inches. I was mesmerized by it. When we moved to a new house nobody nearby had one. My dad was eventually one of the last on the block to get one in 1953. It was an RCA 17" blonde tabletop that we put on a dedicated cast iron stand.Dad was constantly fiddling with the vertical hold. Back then the vertical lock signal wasn't invented yet. That thing had 20 or more tubes. My dad had a large selection of tubes so he wouldn't have to pay the tv repairman.
It was great to witness the dawn of that technology. Before that the all American 5 radio was king. Lots of very good entertainment on the radio including big band shows, radio serials etc. That radio was put on top of the refrigerator so little fingers couldn't mess with the dials.
