The pair of screw terminals on older TVs is actually for a 300-ohm line,
not for 75-ohm. Adapters with 75-ohm input and 300-ohm output have been around since the early days of cable TV. Some fancier ones had a toggle switch and an extra pair of 300-ohm terminals to allow switching between cable and antenna. Last edited by electroking; 03-12-2008 at 08:37 AM.

GE called it a "lowboy" and I was given one identical to the blonde--the one sans bookshelf--when I was 10 or 11. It was then about 20 years old and worked like new. In fact, the indian-giver neighbors took it back "temporarily" for their son who was just getting settled in a new home. I never saw it again--and I still miss it! I do not see these as ugly at all...though the shelves are a little silly.

What about the Stromberg Carlson console from ?1950? It looked like it was a Frank Lloyd Wright afterthought; parts of it jutted out over top the rest like
some modernistic sculpture in plywood. An exercize in high school woodworking that got a D--. Now THAT was an ugly TV set. (reaching for my Nomex under wear... ;^)

The set listed on Craigslist is almost like the one we had when I was a kid. Ours didnt have the legs under it, but it did have the same knobs, etc.
Those were the days...

I have been looking for the upright mahogany version of that blonde set for years. Anyone know where one can be found? Thanks all!

What is Ugly?
Opinions such as this mean absolutely nothing to me. What is or what isn't ugly is subjective and non productive. I really don't like looking at the same stuff all of the time anyway. I have seen some outstanding sets out there that some of you have really dished in the past and said nothing. (Like you would know REAL style anyway!!) What's that you're driving-a 1972 Ford Maverick or that Chevette you went to the prom in that you still drive today?
I have a great idea, let's put up some current pictures of yourselves and lets vote on who's the uglest! I guarantee we would get action on this one!! Let's see, if you're voted #1 UGLY and you have a wife, does she know this or think so?
