Even when only a few years old TVs of that time weren't anything close to today's "set it and forget it" affair , and the controls had to be regularly tweaked as the set ran to keep things on track . The hidden controls thing may have looked all futuristic and all , but weren't very practical and most folks quickly tired of opening and closing that damned little door every time the picture needed to be made to stop rolling (the #1 drift adjustment) or to adjust brightness & contrast as it seemed each different TV show was filmed in different enough of locations to require setting the picture right when changing channels .

So any verdict on what the set in my 62 home movies was? I am CERTAIN the first video is May 1962 because it depicts my mom's communion party and I have her communion record and the film was shot on 5/19/1962. So the TV was produced before May 62. The question is the make/model and I am curious because I wanna know how new it was/how much it might've cost.
Also yes my family is Italian but never any plastic on the furniture. I love my grandparent's mid century modern home decor you can see in the video...Very classy IMO. |
