My Panasonic Plasma is #5 in hours on AVS. I need to start using it again as I've dropped a spot.

Magnavox was not much liked in the industry......politely/privately among the guys it was called Maggot In a Box......along with Silly Vania...... Zenith was the last surviving American TV brand name....they never went to the orient for prostituting the name, like all the others..... I still have a ~100 y/o PHILCO console radio from my folks, AM and two short wave bands.....ran it up on a Variac a couple years ago.....slowly increasing the AC voltage to the radio to allow parts to get used to being energized......especially all the capacitors in it.....worked fine....not used for several decades before that...... |

My parents bought their very first color TV when we moved to Houston, late 70's. We had the 'space command' Zenith that you could actually hook up your phone to and answer the phone with the TV, using the remote.
Of course, Mom and Dad didn't want the extra expense of having a phone jack installed behind the TV so we never got to use that feature. Still, pretty cool idea, and one I haven't seen since. |

About as bad as the motorized outside Antenna, wind blows, kids turn the antenna. Storm comes thru, turn the antenna. I remember having to climb on the roof to replace the motor, that was fun.

Ours was on a tower, always liked going up there. Had to replace the cables once and painted the tower a few times.
