Westinghouse Television Set

Westinghouse Watchable Furniture!

[@7karlheinz]

My father acquired a used model for me (the "Traditional") in 1969. It was large, very well made, and heavy (supplied with casters).The 27'' black and white Westinghouse picture tube was superb! It featured great multi-speaker sound with tube amplification. I had fun with this TV, even though most people had to have a color TV by 1969. I remember watching NBC programs with the last incarnation of the ''In Living Color'' Peacock on it in glorious black and white.

My dad brought home in 1927 our very first tv. When we came back from school we were allowed to watch cartoons and then we had to do our homework. I remember watching family guy and the simpsons

[@MiscPractice]

@@ArgentinaPrimermundo I remember that also! 😂

[@peugteobike]

[@robfriedrich2822]

Cute television set

[@apachette07]

I want the contemporary one...

[@melquizedec]

you only could watch 3 tv stations in those days

[@robfriedrich2822]

Sometimes more, when you lived at the right place. I am from Berlin Germany, East part and got the 2 channels for East Germany and the 3 channels for West Germany. In the mid 1980's came commercial programs, so we had 6 and in the 1990's we got on antenna about 15 channels. Later came DVBT with about 30 TV stations and 20 radio stations, later the radio was abandoned and most TV stations encoded.

@chris061290 the one thing that was not better on these old TVs was the channel selector dial. That was usually the first thing to break especially if you had young kids

[@7karlheinz]

Those Westinghouse models had a two=button (approx 1" x 3"!) channel selector that anticipated + - digital controls, they were incredibly over-engineered.

A WIRELESS REMOTE DIRECTOR!? Oh Boy!!

[@renekenshin6573]

If you could go back in time bring a modern 70 inch LED tv i wonder what their reaction would be O.o

[@chris061290]

@renekenshin6573 y do u have to compare old tvs to new? u making fun of the older ones?

[@bananajetski9453]

Among us? SUS???

[@rp9674]

It was a transition period when I had to start saying TV and stop saying TV set

[@rangers199487]

Where's Betty Furness?

[@jamesslick4790]

Still trying to get that damned fridge opened!

[@2Balls1Pair]

$245.95? Sounds cheap to our generation but it's not. It's like buying a tv for $10000~20000 back in the days.

[@renekenshin6573]

@chris061290 Today yes no one would give a crap but on the 50's i just wonder what would be their reaction, probably shocked and imagine it came from other planet LOL

[@kinmanyuen]

"girls love colonial rooms" lmao

[@chris061290]

@renekenshin6573 who gives a crap bout todays shitty flat screen lcds. these older tvs are made with better quality

[@michaelmurrin2846]

chris p that's just it. For me it's the quality of the set that counts, not the size of the screen !

[@howard3921]

In the 1950s, women referred to themselves as “girls” and men referred to themselves as “men.”

[@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus]

So?
