I dream of Philco...
 

The other morning I had a dream. In the dream, I was watching "How it's Made", which can be seen on the science channel. The topic was about getting rid of garbage. Oddly enough, a string of household appliences was somehow being dragged from a big truck, as if each was tied to eachother in a string. One of those appliences was a Philco TV.

Somehow, I was able to take the TV. It was as big as a tombstone radio. The CRT looked like 8". It also had a tube chassis, as big as a radio chassis of a tombstone set. The set was small and looked really cool. Is there anything that Philco made that was anything similar to what my crazy mind came upb with?

Just imagine a small portable set that looked like a speaker cabinet as big as a tombstone set. The front edges were lipped, so the front panel was sunk into the frame. The back had a total of 3 inputs. UHF and VHF screws, and an odd arrangement of 5 RCA jacks, all black, labeled "color reference". It's definately weird. Any one know of anything similar?

Thanks.

Strange TV Dreams
 

I once had a dream where electronic TV was never invented. I was at a outdoor rock concert where they were setting up 30 foot tall mechanical TVs across this field for the crowd to watch. It looked like a field of Stargates or like the Windmills in Palm Springs CA. A group of guys were dragging the TVs across the field with ropes and raising the TV disks uprite by pulling the ropes.

My dreams usually involve some variation of being up before a huge stadium-full of people, giving a speech, & coming to the realisation that I'm buck-ass nekkid, or being chased by some horrible monster, trying to avoid being eaten. I did have one where I was in Pittsburgh Airport, smelled diesel, asked why, & got told rather rudely, that I was in Pittsburgh Dieselfoot Airport. And it was 1968, all the people reminded me of the extras in Night of the Living Dead, & the cabs were all '68 or earlier cars. At least I wasn't naked & didn't get eaten....-Sandy G.

There was a big long thing a way back in early color television about TV dreams: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20814. I dream about TVs all the time, but not last night because I was up all night fixing one. :)
