To go along with the "1970s stereotype" properly, those tapes should be Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, ELO, and maybe Glen Campbell.

We had one of those Sears-Toshiba color consolettes... What a Dawg... It would sometimes "Tear up" before the service guy got out of town good. My dad had the good sense to buy a service contract on it. The Porta-Colors came out, he got one of those, sold the Sears to a guy who had it 10 yrs, never gave a minute of trouble for him.... Weird. We had the Porta-Potty til 1972 or '73, when we got a BIG Trinitron. The Porta-Color was a trouper, it was on 18 hrs a day, 7 days a week, was only in the shop once or 2X. TOUGH little sets !

That picture is from a mid 60's sears showroom. Those are sears roundies, but I don't remember who made them. The one on the shelf is the 19" toshiba built set. Nice picture when it worked. Key word is when it worked.

I never thought about smoking, which I've never done, but this was about things long past that were part of the customer experience in the stores much like the same effect you get in a new car showroom.

THAT smell is sposed to be BAD for you, too... The "Chicken Littles" HAVE to take the fun outta EVERYTHING, don't they ?!? I DO despise the way the curing adhesives, plastics & fabrics put out a "Film" on the windows for the 1st year or 2, though... If you're as Anal as me am, its BIG FUN trying to keep 'em clean, & spotless, w/NO streaks...

Warwick electronics made most of their color sets. A year later, Sanyo, as well as Toshiba, was making their 18" and smaller color sets.
