apollo 13 was a very good movie, havnt seen it in some time. If i remember correct, the TV that displayed the "Happy new year 1972" was way too new for the time. That set looked more like 1980's, but didnt know what it was. Whenever I watch movies, that the main thing I watch out for. The electronic items are so easy to spot as being period correct or not. As time goes by, you will see more and more movies have incorrect items in the set for time periods as the directors etc. will be too young to really know what was correct or not. It really annoys me too. Whenever you mention that you collect old color TV's people think of cheap 1980's junk with the flimsy channel selector dials that you see in newer movies that are supposed to be in the year "1967". (No offense to those who collect 1980's TV's.)
