And this was our TV.
Good days!
My dad loved to fix things and get gadgets going for years and years and years.
Back then my mom invented the first TV remote to change channels for her .... her kids!

That looks a lot like the one I didn’t buy. :^) Having the mechanism on top was the way of building those for quite a while, because so many were modified former iceboxes. :^) My relatives next door had a shorter version, shorter legs, and curved corners, like postwar Frigidaires (that’s what I grew up with).
Did you also walk to school in the snow, uphill, both ways, even in the scorching 200 degree summer? :P
That’s called a “Monitor Top”.
I was looking to buy an old house in Miami—included downstairs was a “Monitor Top” refrigerator. I considered the refrigerator, intending to restore it.
At a yard sale in New Hampshire, a huge brown refrigerator was for sale. Almost a “walk-in”, I begged the owner to list it separately, perhaps as a movie prop. Its refrigerant was sulfur dioxide or something very exotic.
It later appeared at the town recycling center, and again, I begged the employees to rescue it! Its whereabouts is unknown.
It may have had a protracted life, as recycling the gas was likely problematical.
