We had a 9" round TV when I was growing up it seems like it had 50 knobs and you had to twist all of them to get a decent (black and white) picture It ran hot enough to make toast. Of course not know a thing about how they worked when some thing went wrong you took all of the tubes to the drug store to test them. I think it was a Philco and of course back then no one cared about watts I wonder just how much power it did take to light that thing up?
