Happy New Year 2014 on a 1950 TV set, an Admiral bakelite console:


No flash, CRT brightness and contrast adjusted barely visible to the eye but decent to the camera, but it's still noisy.

Spent New Years' w/my Wife at my ex G/f's & Mothers' house... Mamaw & Kim have more or less "Adopted" us, & we're FAMILY, more or less.. We LOVE them, & consider them "Family" above all...Mamaw is Bethany's "Great Grandmother", but she considers LA Logan's "Grandmother" for all practical purposes..

Decided to watch the ball drop on an 8" RCA that I just finished up.
Set has a like new CRT and makes a very good picture..

Here's a few pics snapped just before 11:00 PM California time.
Foreground 8"RCA, background 50" Panasonic, 53 years of technology between them.

Happy new year! Sitting at Starbucks having my morning coffee. As predicted, I fell asleep on the sofa last night before midnight.

Do you guys out West get the ball drop feed live from NYC, or is it delayed until it's actually the new year out there?

We get it in real time. Since we're not on daylight savings time, the ball drops at 10:00 here, though I did miss it..........

Happy New Year everyone. It never occurred to me to fire up an old TV. Instead I was out flying my RC plane with lights on at the crack of the new year. It was -20 degrees Fahrenheit when I checked just before midnight. Even with gloves on my fingers froze up fast, and so I had to land at 7 minutes. Apparently I have my priorities messed up, although it's not much worse than snowmobiling. You just got to do the crazy stuff to make the winters pass by faster here.
