You had colour in 1971 :woot: I had to wait another seven or eight years and even then there was an evens chance that the grass would be blue etc on any given day.
Clive:
I was so deprived that I didn't have black and white until 1967. :laugh: We actually rented the 13" for five years at a cost of £5 a month. But it was a fabulous picture and never went wrong. There were no presets. There was a tuning knob like a radio set but there were only three channels to worry about in those days anyway.
Den:
Now I'm feeling very old. My parents bought our first TV (single channel) in about 1951-2. All the kids I knew would come to watch Kit Carson or Hopalong Cassidy at tea time.
The only problem was they would turn up wearing Cowboy hats and gun belts.
I had a friend just down the road and they had a black and white tv with a colour filter that you could put in front of the screen with a blue filter at the top and a green one at the bottom. Great for cowboy films in a field. ;D
Clive:
I used to visit a friend whose parents had a thick plastic magnifier over the screen to make the picture larger. I think I saw Quatermass on it.
