I can't tell you how many estate sales I've hit in which the 1968 Zenith TV was still upstairs, wired up to the outdoor antenna and plugged in.
Sounds a lot like the suburbs in New Jersey. And I have a young-ish friend who is doing his new house in that style, only more "Disneyland perfect" than it ever was in real life. Complete with CTC-5. I just gave him my mom's old Mixmaster from the fifties which will look just right on his kitchen counter.
