I'm not admitting anything but, I thought everybody had those! :highly_amused:

 

[John Turney]

I remember a time before TVs.

 

[Basil]

You're describing a typical day for Tom - now! :single_eye:

Radios that had to warm up before they started to work.

Kerosene refrigerator that had to have the wick maintained every week.

Basil - you know me too well!

I remember a time before TVs.

That was quite a long time ago! Here's a 1929 Baird Televisor, used to receive early television broadcasts in London until the mid 1930s.



You didn't get much with a 30 line scan, but it was a live moving image:

We weren't in London.

 

[waltesefalcon]

My radio still has to warm up.

#6. I have a granddaughter and granddaughter in law who would say #18 and the. Add my name as the guilty party.

 

[NutmegCT]

We weren't in London.

And for those living near Washington DC in the late 1920s, the Charles Jenkins Radiovisor!

Jenkins broadcast movies for free - before we had to pay $150/mo for 200 wonderful channels on cable. (grumble grumble)

 

[John Turney]

Ah yes, $150/mo for 200 channels, of which we watch maybe 5.

Actually, there was no TV for the first 7 years of my life because there were no stations close enough to receive signals, then we moved to Phoenix.

Living in Georgia I have found that it can mean from Yesterday to before I was born.

A bit like Yonder. An undefined place where a lot of things seem to end up.
