I remember the first color set in dad's house....in '64 I was 20, and into fixing TV sets in summers so fixed it too, old vacuum tubes 21? tubes and a pix tube....bet I still can call out the numbers on the tubes....
Any old TV men here?? what was the tube # for a Zenith Horizontal Oscillator??? what was the number for the rest of the sets, which BTW, were based on RCA designs....

Huh?
The entire world was only black & white until 1960 or so...Kodak had experimented with it as early as the late '30s & early '40s, but it was too new a concept to be popularly accepted and most people could not see it. It was Zenith, I think, who introduced color to the masses. Or maybe Polaroid in '58 or so with still photos. But until then, everything was "colorized" by women with paintbrushes, using their imagination. We have become so used to it, we take it for granted now and automatically see things in 'color'. But we owe a lot to those women, figuring out what 'colors' things should be--if it were not for them, if it were up to a bunch of men, god can you imagine how things would look now??
Sky King & Penny would have been flying a purple Beechcraft across a yellow sky, Lloyd bridges in 'Seahunt' would have been diving in a red ocean, and Howdy Doody would have been wearing red & green plaid shirt (...Oh wait--he was, wasn't he? Well he was a guy......)
The 'color conspiracy' really took off in the early '60s, around the time they removed the tube testing machines from the grocery stores. That way, the men like my Dad lost one more place to hang around and talk man-talk about things and the women with their 'color' could further their takeover of the world....."Mauve" and "puce" did not exist until the late '80s, the wimmin have to keep coming up with more colors to keep us off balance & guessing. That's why men today yet still don't know what those are: they have not been imprinted onto our brains as existing yet.
There are more colors on the way, it is a vast conspiracy. Don't believe me? Look it up!

[/QUOTE]**** I ain't that old 46, grew-up some with black and white and three channels with an arial on the roof. When we changed channels some one had to run upstairs and reach out the window to turn the pipe for the arial to get the next channel in better. When the folks lost sound in the tv they bought one o them new color units that came in em big bureaus without drawers. Thats when I learned I was color blind :banghead:so as for as I see there's still black and white.
As for the dead sound TV, brother and I took the cover of the back and followed the speaker wires back to a tube that had four or six pins in it and started crossing it with a paper clip :yahoo: we had tinny sound good enough.
May have been the first in our neck-o-da-woods with a remote control. Glued old fishing rods to the knobs, that came to our bunkbed. To turn the arial for our room was ropes and pullies. Had two PBS channels and one local that broadcast hockey games in french.
Any remember BENNY HILL?

Benny Hill was GREAT!!! I'm a big fan of his.He was on channel 13 in New York. Oh boy the $hit he used to get away with & remember the Benny Hill angels? They were like porn stars to us 13 year old boys back then.Jane Leevy(Dafnee) from the TV show Fraser(not sure of the spelling) was a Benny Hill angel.

Being honest about what? His past criminal history? You mean they finally found it?

Now look at posts # 45, 46 & 47..... The little Napoleonic prick moderators just can't stand it if you don't toe the line. "That just earned you some vacation time". Nothing inflammatory was said there.
Pewter 99 is the *** that banned me for not responding to his PM fast enough. Then there is the "turd" Irish Mac (another ***). Those guys are power trippin' big time - one day it will all catch up to them.:hunter: If I was them I'd be AFRAID to go to public events for fear that someone would recognize me and punch my lights out for being so god damned arrogant!
I hope that it happens some day!
They supported DB and all of his misinformation for so long, banning anyone who DARED challenge their AUTHORITY. DUMB *****!
I know - I rant a bit, I just hate the way they run things over there. I am much happier HERE!

No, that's a typical LeMans style filler cap
No, his "product" is a poorly made etched plate with a crossed flags logo.
Wow. That's in the C3 Tech section over there. Bolting a Cobra replica gas lid on your C3 must be more difficult than I thought.

I'll back Cherry up on this. I can't believe you guys think that thing (yes the LeMans dildo looking one) looks great. At least the flat ones are not quite as gaudy.
