Like most of my thoughts.
I have been admiring the pictures of the old Admiral sets here and noticed something interesting. TVs did not always have crappy little speakers in them. These guys must have 10 and 12 inchers like the early radios had.
Here is the weird thought. They were home theater ready decades ago. Wouldn't those big speakers right under the picture tube like that make for a great center channel? Hmm... B&W home theater... interesting. Or I suppose one could take a basket case un-restorable unit and put a color flat screen in place of the original video unit.
No I haven't been getting into the percocet it just sounds that way.
