Hello Matt - 

--8<--cut 

MM> The really strange ones were the ones with the 'large
MM> screen'. A 15", 50 pound hunk of magnifying glass bolted in
MM> front of a 9" picture tube. The only way it could be viewed
MM> was to be dead in front of the TV, and the whole family
MM> always huddled tight in that one spot. Naturally I picked a
MM> friend with plenty of sisters when I wanted to watch TV.
MM> :-)) 

MM> Today such a magnifying glass would probably cost twice the
MM> price of the TV set itself. 

That was replaced by a square of plastic on an arm to hang it
in front of the TV. Not quite as necessary to be in the center
and much less expensive. Haven't seen one in awhile though but
I'd wager they are still out there somewhere.
