Probably the first one since about 1983 that I have skipped. Chip Chester 02-04-2018, 10:26 PM A few instances of expensive dead air this year. Don't think it was local, either. Oops. Titan1a 02-05-2018, 02:34 AM Nice screen! RetroHacker 02-06-2018, 09:31 AM Had a whole group of friends over, watched the game on my Zenith System 3 console. Did not think to take a picture while the game was on, unfortunately. Still, the set worked flawlessly, as it has in years past. I have the sound all going through my stereo though - it's amazing the depth the good sound can give you with a sporting event. -Ian DavGoodlin 02-06-2018, 03:59 PM I had my 1964 Zenith 19" BW L2018 on. Should have pulled one of the Philco sets in for this, had I known it was going to be an historic event. sampson159 02-06-2018, 05:34 PM sylvania superset with the famous 25vdmp22 crt.would have used the avante but it smoked out the vertical.got up and went to the klitchen,came back and smelled smoke and was greeted with a vertical line.

Nice reception. -Steve D. old_tv_nut 02-07-2018, 02:08 PM Feeding the signal to your CTC-5 with that indoor rabbit ears? Nice reception. -Steve D. 33.5 miles direct line of site to Mount Bigelow, but the TV is on the far side of the house, with stucco construction, so I was pleasantly surprised that an amplified indoor antenna would work.

Just try to match THAT with a sound bar on a flat-panel. |
