13” TV? Don’t know if that ups your manliness, but it does make you bona fide Old School.
I was joking with my kids School Principal this week. He grew up and still lives very rural. He said in the early 80s his Dad finally got a small B/W TV and they wired it to a metal pole they drove into the ground outside so they could catch a Cardinals Baseball Game. How any of us watched old B/W TV is amazing when you now are used to HDTV.
I have some old VHS tapes of old White Sox baseball games. In color, but still the quality is shocking different to what most people have now.
I left out the part about it being my first color TV, but it is.
What I was really looking for at the time was a radio that would play TV, so that I could catch the news shows and Sunday interviews, buying a TV turned out to be easier.
