watching the color snow on first color tv

[Richard D]

Looking at the pictures of the roundies reminds me of 1961 or 1962 when we got our first color set. I was 5 or 6 at the time. It had a black metal cabinet and the chassis was mounted vertical on one side of the set. It was made by Admiral and the channel # was projected above the tuner knob. What's funny is that all the neighbors would come over to see it and unless there happened to be a color commericial on or it was sunday night they would stare at the colored snow on unused channels. Dosen't seem that long ago.
