Another pix of appliance shop with TVs, 1978

[zeno]

I think I see GE, Sylvania & Zenith. The Amana "Radar Range"
sitting on the box was undistructible. Probably weighs 5
times what a modern one does. AND lasts 5 times as long....

This seems to be a typical big time white goods dealer that
also sold brown goods on the side. No real brand loyalty. Always
sold GE TV's. I cant remember a GE brown goods dealer in our
area. Want a GE TV? go to the appliance cat.
It was RCA or Zenith, (half the sets built) or in a big city
Maggy, Sylvania & Motorola for your brand. Always had a lower
priced brand, in our area Admiral was the low end line most often.
I could go on all day but I will spare you the pain

Same could be said for my Kenmore, but I'd like one of those anyway.

Of all my sets, the Admiral will be my biggest challenge. High-end cabinet mostly stripped of the ruined finish and low-end guts I guess. At least it has tube-controlled HV.
