Jeff, I grew up in Aurora, where my parents still live. I do remember that TV reception was not too great, especially UHF.
I have noticed that most of the cheapo portables today usually use a varactor tuner with a potentiometer and slide rule dial rather than an actual mechanical tuner. Even the cheapest color sets now have all of the special features such as autoprogram, cable ready, closed captions, electronic control of color, tint, brightness, etc. I think the R&D has been paid off on these electronic chips and now the technology is cost-effective even for the cheapest sets.
