 Then there was Packard Bell TV with the cable running
 from the lounge chair, across the floor to the TV.

 And the Philco model with the CRT mounted on a swivel.
 What a bastard to service.  Philco also had the split

 Mad-man Muntz TV with TWO tuning slugs in the tuner -
 one for high band and one for low band.  El cheapo
 Silvertone wasn't much better.
