How cool to find a message that reads from mom and dad, what a lovely testament. I also have to laugh at how difficult those engineers make it to extract the chassis at times, way to much overkill I think lol. This Zenith chassis is also reminds me of certain philips chassis' we get down here, notably that flat sheet on the back of the chassis. I also marvel at how far ahead you guys were in comms. We didn't get FM until the mid 70's and colour TV was launched in 1975. What a backward country we were lol. An easy one for you Ken, keep it up :)
I remember color TVs started becoming popular in the late 60's. My grandparents wouldn't purchase one because they thought the color would wear out, like it had color ink in them or something, lol.
That is so funny. When daylight savings was going to introduced here in the late 70's I think, they showed a Queensland farmer's wife on the news saying, oh no, if you put the clocks ahead 1 hour, then the cows won't know when to give milk AND she was serious lol. BTW, the sate of Queensland still doesn't participate in daylight savings time. @@kenslab1973
