in wall color set

When I was in high-school (during the 80's), some friends of mine down the street had one of these in-wall TV installations. Their house was built in the early 60's and was a very "modern" style. The TV was installed when the house was built, but did not work in the 80's. I remember it having a round picture tube. My friend's dad didn't bother with the set any more because he wasn't interested in buying tubes for it to keep it going. Besides, they had one of those big projection sets I remember seeing at Sears. There were doors that they kept closed over the in-wall set.

My friend's parents still live there, and remembering this makes me want to call and ask if that set is still in the wall. I would think by now they would have removed it, but maybe there is a small chance it could still there. I am getting off the ship in a week, so maybe I'll put this on my "to-do" list once i get home.
