I don't remember that.

Our tv was black and white, had tubes, 13 stations on the dial and not all of them worked, antennae on the roof and when changing channels had to turn the antennae.

The antennae had a box on top of the TV, it was connected by wires to an electric motor up on the roof the actual antennae was attached to. Turning a big dial on the box actually moved the direction the antennae pointed in. Didn't do a lot of channel surfing, the commercials would be over by the time you changed the channel and spun the antennae around.

Remember Bruce's words, 57 channels and nothin' on, must be close to 5,700 channels and nothin' on.

Every grocery store, drug store, and hardware store had its own do-it-yourself tube tester?

Or you rummage thru the scrap yards for parts you needed for a build. Now days some builds are more repro parts because some models are so popular as builds there aftermarket available.
