IN the early to mid 60's these are the TVs we had in class. They got used maybe twice a year... To watch bad anti-drug programs and Sheril and her sock puppet Lambchop.

It's not worn out, it just tends to slip off the shaft when I pull it on. I had to change from a metal shaft to a plastic shaft control.
Depending on the shape of the knob's shaft grip, I've had success with tightning loose knobs by using a ty-rap around the shaft grip.

(later ones only going up to ch. 69).
I had a VCR from 1979 or so that had 12 buttons on the front, each of which was set at the factory for 2-13. It only had one set of screws on the back for VHF, nothing for UHF. I had the cover off that thing and never saw a board in which to program the buttons, even hidden inside.

I used to use an old beta set as a UHF adaptor! =P
