LOL. Also every time the TV broke you pulled a bunch of vacuum tubes and took the to the shop to run through a tester. Occasionally you would hear about so poor guy who forgot to drain the power out of the TV before trying to pull tubes.
We had a "tennarotor' . It remotely turned the antennae on the roof because each of the three stations we recieved broadcast from different directions .Still remember the Click,Click noise as it operated .
