@[email protected] I love those reminiscences!
When I moved out from my parents’ house, I got such a tiny TV from my mum (already ancient at the time). Hey, I was grateful for having one first place! It had knobs, though. Rabbit ears too.
Had it more than 20 yesrs (in addition to the years it had been my mum’s TV). Of course it didn’t have a remote control. But as I was living in very small flats, it was quite manageable to change channels.

@[email protected] I liked the slinjy! But at that time I was 13…

@[email protected] Not in my teenage years 😬

@[email protected] I used to love that song. It’s from the start of the 70’s, I believe. At least that was when we heard it here.
Lateron, I was deep into Heavy Metal, as Nazareth, Deep Purple & such.
Secrectly though, I liked Tom Jones, but this was unmentionable for a teenager back then.

@[email protected] that’s quite possible 😂😂

@[email protected] those memories are only appreciated by older people,I believe.
When we finally had a color TV, it didn’t have a remote control. As we lived close to the airport, we were forced to jump up to turn up the volume, then jump again when the airplane had landed. Quite sporty! As I see it, there was no harm in jumping, but I’m sure, younger people, who grew up with handling everything by remote control, would be exasperated

@[email protected] I’ve got some stashed away in a drawer! (you never know…)😁

@[email protected] I felt privileged owning an electrical typewriter in the 80s! It was much easier to type with (less force needed) and it was even possible to correct your text. But only the last two lines. And of course you had to use this blue paper to have a copy. And when the tape cassette was empty, and you didn’t have one in store you had to stop working.
