That was one badass television. Probably take more rounds than Marshall Dillon.

Big wooden cabinet with the Record Player and Radio too. I think the TV finally quit when I was a Senior in HS. 1978. Dad bought a new TV and set it on top of that cabinet. 🤠 Last edited by chlinstructor; 07/31/21. "Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..."
