We finally rid ourselves of the hulky black box 27" TV that has been sitting in our garage for the past couple of years (for a piddly $15 at our yard sale). And although I appreciate the streamlined modern shape and of course the picture and audio quality of flatscreens, televisions just seem that to have lacked any personality these past three decades.

My husband and I had our best week of estate sale-ing ever! There were several good sales, but of course my favorite was the Danish Modern sale. Pictures of the house and the load of goodies we purchased are coming later in the week!
You're right, they have been lacking in personality lately!
ReplyDeleteI love the ones with legs.

I agree. TV's used to be so neat back then. Telestar's (5th picture down) are actually being reproduced if you have a couple thousand to drop on one. http://blog.apt528.com/2010/04/telestars-are-back.html
ReplyDeletelove this! so true...now its about how flat we can get them:)
ReplyDeleteestate-saleing is so fun...doing that this weekend!
It's so crazy how TVs looked like space gear! Now when I look at my TV it seems so boring! Fun post!
ReplyDeleteTotally. I wish TV's still looked cool. Theyre so boring now!
ReplyDeleteMy, my, my! They look like they're from another planet now - those biggies were still OK less than 5 years ago! They did have character - you're right! Hope you had a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteha! i never thought i'd look back at old tv's with fondness, but you have made me do EXACTLY that! i love the rounded glass and funky shapes. i love me a flat screen, but they really don't have much style, do they?
ReplyDeletehope your pup is going to be ok, and that it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. i lost my arm on saturday, and methinks i'll lose my leg today when i see the 2nd vet bill. ay yi YI.
These look so cool!
ReplyDeleteMy husband's library has an old vintage Tv and on it, the manager put a "READ INSTEAD" graphic on it. So cool! I've also seen people take out the screen and use it as a bookshelf.
That little yellow TV is wonderful!! Congrats on finding new estate sale goodies -- I can't wait to see them!
ReplyDeleteCOOOL! I love them. I've always been attracted to old vintage tv's even when i was a kid...while we had the black,boring bulky ones, there were always a couple really old ones hanging around at my grandparents house and i used to try to get them working. i want one so bad of all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteThat antenna is nutzoid..hahaha.
Time to sit down, put my feet up , and watch some Bonanza!
