Welcome Back to TV Heaven!
Years ago, when I first decided to put together a website, I wanted to make it fun and thoughtful, and maybe to tell you a little something about myself based upon the types of shows I watch or watched. Every time I changed the page, I would update it with a little something about a specific show, why I watched it, how it may have affected my life...things like that. Well, I had a hoot doing it, and decided to resurrect the site as a page on our current website. I wish I had all the graphics I did for it. Each month, I would not only feature a specific show, but I would also "tweak" a pic of the cast, inserting myself and my partner in the pic, just for fun. Guess I'll have to start all over again!
The picture above is actually a 1952 Bendix Aviation Corporation TV. I own the set, and yes, it still works. I also fiddled with the graphics so make this animated .gif file. That's real TV snow and some of the pics on there actually came over on the TV while I was watching. I bought this TV at an estate sale way back in 1988 and I've moved it from Orlando to Tallahassee to Seattle and now, to Ft. Lauderdale.
This is an actual ad I found for the TV, when it was "brand new"!
I only wish they had listed the price of the TV with this ad! I know nothing about the Bendix Aviation Corporation, save that they certainly made a TV that lasted!
