And the tv had to warm up.
Remember the 4 foot tall tube radios?
I have one here in the house. About 40 years ago when my late wife's grandmother died we hauled it back from Arkansas. I replaced the speaker grill cloth and refinshed it, but never got around to trying to get it working.
Those older big ones were pretty much gone when I was a kid, most folks had tube “console” 78 platter players with an all band receiver. Mono of course.
