The Kuba Komet was an exotic set, too expensive for the most people.

I don't know. I am German, I do not know what the others like.

It depends on the times. I like very much the tv sets and radios from the mid 1950's and late 1950's. And I like very much the first generation of color tv sets from 1967 through 1970 with wooden warm-colored housings.

I am a typical North-German. People here said especially the North Germans are cool and they don't like to give express to their feelings. The Americans (as far as I can say) like to make compliments and they like to receive compliments. We usually get embarrassed by compliments as they are usual with the U.S. people.
We live in one world, and we make the experience that we are all different people. There is no right or wrong, there are only you and me and they and them. And everyone is alright with his or her feelings and conventions.
Kind regards,
