Keep the ballerina , loose the phone .

Why do I say this ? , as one who lived through the 1960s as a VERY electronics interested young man , I can tell you with all certainty that no house I was ever in had the phone sitting on the TV like that . The ballerina , sure , , , , , , and a set of rabbit ears (UHF converter too ) with perhaps some other favorite keepsake , but never the phone .

PS , I love the TV , ,

and ,

I always thought those "futuristic" phones were just flat out Butt ugly

I have that exact phone... Always thought they were cool but every one I came across was a C-note... until I found one for $5.

Here in Brazil it was also known as the "JK telephone" because, since it was too modern, the people associated it with President Juscelino Kubitschek, who was a very modern and dynamic leader:

The console in question is a Philips, made in Brasil.
The cabinet style is a little different to the european versions, which differs from european country to european country, too.
