A few months ago, I saw the silver version of that TV at a church rummage sale; but, it was beat to heck and the tuner door was missing. I don't even know what they wanted for it.
Years ago, I had a newer red RCA AC/DC color set with electronic scan tuning. When the channel button was pressed, the screen would go blank and a green or red vertical line (depending on if you were on UHF or VHF) would scan across the screen until an active channel was found.
I don't think I've ever seen that cable box; but, it does sort of remind me of those Jerrold boxes with the pushbuttons. I think those old mechanical pushbutton Jerrold boxes were finally phased out by the late '80's, as there were then more than 36 channels on the cable system and everyone wanted remote control. In a short period, all of these old analog cable boxes will probably be good for nothing but a paperweight.
