Farnsworth spotted on Addams Family

Just the other day I was watching an episode of the Addams Family and what should I see but an early Farnsworth set! Uncle Fester and Grand mama were watching a political convention and the first shot of the set was a close up with only the CRT and mask visible, and the Farnsworth script was clearly shown in the lower center!

Then a little later they showed the entire set when Thing popped out of a nearby box to fiddle with one of the many many knobs on the front. Jeez, there must've been at least 8 knobs!!! For a split second I thought because of this quantity that it may be just a prop set, but the overall detail and correct period look I don't believe this to be true.....that's to say, I think this was an actual Farnsworth set.

Man oh man, the set decorator or art director must really be a nut to have dug up this set, it just fits the mood and decor so perfectly! Remember, even in the mid 60's, Farnsworths were few and far between, so this was pretty esoteric even then!
