Election night on vintage Admiral TV

Another major event on a vintage TV set, my Admiral 24R12 B&W set
The sound is buzzing a lot, because of all the heavy use of white graphics in the video.

I remember the 1960 election night on a similar Admiral set.

The Admiral on my workbench.



Not a perfect image, but you should have seen how awful it looked last week

A blurry snap of what I actually watched much of the time -- a Predicta sitting on a CTC-11.

(OK, getting back to work!)

The people have spoken.
God Bless America!

BTW, I miss being able to go into a store and seeing American-made TV's for sale!

My Emerson 699 is next to my computer desk, so that's what I had on for most of the night b/c I was following social media very closely.

But I did later go upstairs where I watched the concession and then the victory speech most appropriately--on my American Television.

No, but neither did the Washington Redskins.
We now rejoin the following program already in progress at this time.

Q: Is this NOT the most generic statement one can hear from a TV network?

I watched it on one of those cheap little Chinese last gasp 5" B&W's, mainly because my shop looks like a tornado hit it and that little TV was, due to it's size, the easiest to set up on my overcrowded work bench.
