Roundie-daze Anecdotes...
How 'bout a thread with personal tidbits from the roundie days of color TV...
It was 1963. I came across a small crowd around a color console in a Sears retail store in N-E Philadelphia. I slipped into the group and cut my way to the front where a 21-in. roundie Silvertone wowed the crowd, but with its hue control cranked fully clockwise! Television in color was so new and created so much curiosity that these people were hooked to a stupid hue-distorted image. Yes, I did adjust it, shocking the color-starved crowd who had clearly been trying to make sense of the screwy colors on the screen.
