Wow, very well done!

I am old enough to remember the black and white (tube type) TV's from the 50's and 60's. In fact, my first real job was working in a Radio/TV repair shop during my junior and senior years in High School.

Thanks for the kind words and comment and not mentioning that the horizontal and vertical blanking bars were missing.

Wow

by me,

This scene was created after pondering the effect of sim.frequency on the apparent fan rotation in your 1948 Fresh nd Aire vintage electric table fan. It reminded me of vertical lock on an old TV.

Xray,

TVs were interesting to work on since the picture tube was sometimes the best diagnostic tool since what was wrong inside was usually apparent on the tube. I also remember warnings about you in the high voltage rectifier section.

Yup, X-rays (not Xray) can damage your DNA.

I grew up on the east coast, but we were too far north to receive the Ranger Andy show out of Connecticut. We did have a similar children's show called "Big Brother Bob Emery" which was broadcast out of Boston on WBZ channel 4. Those were the days!

We had only two TV channels. If you turned on the TV too early, all you would get is a test pattern. We also had to walk 5 miles to school in the snow and it was uphill both ways. Two out of tree of the previous statements are true.

"uphill both ways"??? I suppose that could happen if the earth shifted its topology while you were in class praying and mouthing the unintelligible words of the Pledge of Allegiance just prior to practicing "Duck and Cover" drills.

"What???" he utters.

I didn't answer the duck and cover statement since it all seemed to make sense to me.
