Speaking of TV sets with doors, I wonder if any manufacturer ever fitted a power switch to shut the set off when the doors are closed.
And for "pushbutton tuning", wonder if any manufacturer ever fitted heart shaped cams on a tuning mechanism, like those on pre-war AM radios with "press the button downwards to change the station" mechanical presets.

Not to get too far off topic, but some tube portable radios have lids that turn the set on when opened, off when shut.
Same battery-conserving goal as the Zenith TransOceanics whose volume can be turned down very low, but not completely silent. Phil
