I think the White House During Pres. Johnson era had 3 custom full size TV's built in to the oval office so he could see the 3 networks at once.

I'm just curious as to what brand of TV's pres. Johnson had in the library I wonder if they were Curtis Mathes only because he was from Texas and may not have known any better.
I`m sure the white house would have no trouble getting a tech. to fix them , or RCA ,Zenith , Magnavox ,Admiral , GE ? because they were popular then. i enlarged the picture a bit.

I thought I recalled Motorola donating a set or sets to the White House at one time, but someone here will be able to identify that control layout, I'm sure.
