I’ve heard rumors in the old days you had to be close enough to the TV to reach the channel, volume, etc. dials.
Have a console Zenith and 32in Sony.
Been stashed in the garage for years.
They both still work.
Can't give them away. Don't want to toss them in the landfill.
Looks like my early Zenith. Cool.Back in the day, I had a top of the line Magnavox TV.
American made and weighed a ton. ....

Alice Kramden was kinda cute when I decided it was easier to wrap copper wire and tinfoil around the tree limbs off the roof.
No they all died away..I used to have the huge projector TVs hell now I have a 12 year old TV 32 inch and don't use it much.Was just looking through my photo albums tonight and I have one of those console Zenith TVs about the size of two big dog houses. Then a few years later I have one of the projection TVs that's the size of a small garage door lol.
Now I have TV in the palm of my hand....
Mine and the wifes first TV cost us 20.00 bucks, and it was used. It had a metal body we painted red, rabbit ears with tin-foil, it was black and white, and it had the antenna outside as well that was cabled to it.
Loose signal, just go outside and spin the antenna till the wife inside says "stop, that's it". Soon as I took my hand off, she started hollering "what did ya do" ? So I put my hand back on and she said "that's it", like I was gonna stand outside until the show ended. LOL. About 20 minutes later she did bring me out a cup of coffee on the commercial break.
Then when I went back in to watch the movie Big Jake, the horizontal went fool, so I had to literally hit the side of it every 5 minutes during the show.
I was glad when it wouldn't work anymore.
Nope. But a friend told me they once had a wired remote but no idea if it was an Emerson.You weren't aware of the Emerson 1158 wired remote?I’ve heard rumors in the old days you had to be close enough to the TV to reach the channel, volume, etc. dials.

Better tighten up that loose signal. You wouldn't want to lose it!
