24. I remember our TV with a HALO

Fri Oct 24, 2025, 09:18 PM

Yesterday

from the 1950's

We'd turn the lights off and watch TV with the weird greenish halo around it. LOL!

(When our TV picture would roll, I was the smallest kid so I had the job of going partially behind the TV, sitting on the floor with my hand up in front of the screen, palm facing me and turning the vertical control knob till I could tell the picture had stopped rolling.)
