Lovely quality. The 1969 series looked better. Wow, there isn't even sound now
Amazing how TV has evolved. I can remember the old sets, even the color ones. So big you could live in one if you took out the guts. The picture tube would go bad and you had to wait for the repairman to come and pop in a new tube. Of course, you only had one. The big glowing number that told you what channel it was on. The UHF and VHF dials ("UHF"?). And the was so big you had to call in the neighbors to move it when you wanted to rearrange the furniture. Remote? That was us kids. We had to stand there and flip the dial until my father found something good to watch. Even the omnipresent TV Guide is gone. Even remember some programs proudly saying "IN COLOR".
