Help Id'ing a Zenith T/O Royal 1000

[Sandy G]

Sadly, there really ISN'T a modern equivalent of a T/O anymore...Or one of those ubiqitous Sony 5-303W TVs, either...You know, PREMIUM quality products that made you want to buy them for what they were, not just for what they did. Part of the problem w/Ipods, as I see it, is they DON'T "stroke" you in any way- they just do what they do. A T/O, however, delighted you senses-they were handsomely designed, felt nice & substantial to the touch, had good sound, & showed to the world that you were a person of discrimination, style, & taste, by nature of your HAVING a T/O in the 1st place...An Ipod ? They're cheap & nasty pieces of plastic that you cram in yr pocket...no different from a Pez dispenser was in an earlier time. Or maybe I'm being to country-club, old school patrician...
