I had a more classic boombox shaped version. It was the same size picture tube, with tape deck. The tube came to the "top" edge of the boom box flat rectangle.

- ggm 2y agoTru that! I think B&W tv was fantastic, for the right kind of media. Old films? Perfect!
- devilbunny 2y agoAnd it was fine for things like game shows. Growing up we had an old 12” B&W TV that we dragged into the dining room every night to watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Very lightweight. For the kind of TV where the visual experience is secondary to the content, it’s fine.
