Recognize either one of these?

Both of these are from my early childhood. The B&W pic is from 1957 and the colour pic is pre-1964.
Note the little RCA Victor 45 player on top of the TV from '57.

The older set is a 1951 Hallicrafters 17" table model. The newer set is a 1958 Zenith. Both good models.:yes:

It looks like an electric heater.

The lower one looks to be a 1959 Zenith model B2223 the Trenton. I have a huge full line Zenith poster in which it appears sitting right behind me.

Too bad I lacked the wall space for that thing, but come to think of it so do you! :p

I do seem to recall us owning a Hallicrafters set. Good eye!

Nah, I got plenty of space for it....All I need to do to go from 95% to 100% of it being visible is to move my only working TRF radio receiver.

Prolly some sort of bad, latent Character Defect, but when I saw the 1st pic, all that came to MY twisted little mind was-"Mommy ! I KNOW you JUST changed me 'n' all, but guess what ? I just Poo-ed muh Diaper....AGAIN !" ...But I also think that at least a FEW here can prolly relate....(grin)

Quality, not parts. Look up some youtube videos of their old ads and you'll see I'm right.

You definately are correct! I thought everyone knew that slogan. I thought the poster was just joking.:nono:
