SNAP! Finally, somebody else who remembers that ad. I've been wishing for all these years that I had cut it out and saved it, because even a trip to the library a few years ago to pore through back issues failed to turn it up. For some reason I was certain that I had seen it in 1982 . . . maybe 1981. But it's entirely possible the magazine was not a current issue when I saw it.
What makes it extra special is the fact that the set shown (being watched by mom, dad, junior and sis if I recall correctly) is the ultra-elusive 19CK1 console. I want to say it had the 21" tube, but it's been far too long to be certain about that kind of detail. What I do know is (wherever it is) it's a better illustration of a 19CK1 than you can find on the net today, if you can find one at all.
