My dad was too cheap (frugal) to even buy a TV and grandma took pity on us after JFK's death in 1963 (and we were unable to watch the funeral proceedings), and bought us a Zenith 18" BW TV. I kept that set alive until 1974, when I finally "gave up" and told dad he was on his own. He splurged and bought a 25" Magnavox solid state console model, and I took the broken Zenith back to college with me, where I found a reasonably-priced TV shop that fixed it. Kept that old Zenith until '78 when I moved. One reason we didn't get color TV earlier was that we lived in a marginal signal area, and legend had it that color wouldn't "work" unless you had a pristine signal. The Magnavox worked fine on our attic antenna and lasted until the early 90's.
