Wacky old antennas

[Tube TV]

Anyone remember these cheezy peices of crap?
Seems like everwhere I went someone had one stuffed in the closet amongst a bunch of junk. Circa 1995 every garage sale had one.
The two controls consisted of a dish rotator , and a tuning control which all it did was cut off one of connections to the rabbit ears .
The important looking plastic things on the dipoles were just that, important hollow plastic shells.
Rabbit ears in sheeps clothing, Sucker bait at it's finest....?

This one sold at the WARCI donation auction for I think $2 or $3 in July.
