@tessgerritsen@neiltyson I remember those days. I also remember black & white TVs took forever to warm up before the picture appeared. -
@usamartinprice@neiltyson I also remember when all three stations signed off at night, after the national anthem.#YesImOld. -
@tessgerritsen@neiltyson .. Somehow I miss those days . Life wasn't complex.. Simple, uncluttered and clean and full of good memories.

@neiltyson And then readjust the rabbit ears for the new channel. -
@ZenHedonist@neiltyson And then move and lose the signal. -
@dilligaf0@neiltyson And the "fine tuning" ring on the outside of the channel knob. -
@ZenHedonist@neiltyson Separate tuner knobs for VHF and UHF -
@dilligaf0@neiltyson Color and contrast knobs (after we finally got a color TV) & vertical and horizontal hold knobs. -
@ZenHedonist@neiltyson I was just getting ready to type horizontal/vertical knobs. LOL -
@ZenHedonist@neiltyson There were mailboxes all over town, not just at the post office.
