Ever See One Of These?
I believe this is an RCA set from around 1968. There is a record player behind the top center panel and it looks like the black box is for ear bud audio. LBJ would have loved this.
I can’t imagine the weight of that thing. Those seem to be black-and-white TVs in it.
She’s cool in her black glasses, too!
The era might be 1964-5 based on the clothes. Also it looks like Andy and Barney on the left and maybe Batman in the center.
Elvis Presley, upon hearing that LBJ had a tri-TV system in the oval office, had someting similar installed in his TV room at Graceland Mansion.
…LBJ, DID have a tri-TV set system set up in the oval office during his administration !
The TV set on the upper right must be W2XBS – still running Felix the Cat tests.
and they all appear to be watching Felix the Cat on the upper right monitor
ABC, NBC and CBS – that’s all there was!
