Radio commercial with someone talking about football on a vintage B&W TV
Was a radio commercial for a sports bar. Someone trying to impress some womenfolk that it would be fun to watch football games on a vintage 19 inch B&W TV set. "You can feel the raw energy...." The women were underwhelmed..
  Only a chosen few get it...

I had my CTC-38 color portable hooked up in the living room. While my wife appreciated the work I put into it, the chances of it becoming our daily watcher over the 32" flat screen, were approximately zero

BTW, I here in Pittsburgh too, I just dabble a little in TV's when I need to, but I like to read as well as look here to absorb the knowledge in case when I dive into things. I'm into amateur radio too.

Okay, but she was my girlfriend then. She's my wife now
The Colortrak 2000 went on to a new home. The 32" HD in the living room is the one the wife watches, and moreso now that she just had shoulder surgery about 2 weeks ago. She'll be off work the rest of the year. Among the shows she watches, are Breaking Amish, My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, and Little House on the Prairie. Since I hate all the above shows , I go into my basement room, curl up on my beat up recliner with a blanket, and flick on whatever set is in current rotation. But then again, I don't watch much TV, so.....But if it DID go, I wouldn't replace it with another HD set, simply because I'm next to broke. These medical co-pays have about killed me.... Otherwise, would I replace it with another flat panel? Probably. Try taking a microwave away from your spouse and tell her that now you have to heat up things on the stove and see how well that goes over
