I was about 7 or 8 when we got a color TV. No telling what dad paid for that thing, color TV broadcast was just coming on the market. I remember the picture tube was round on the sides, flat on top and bottom. It was a major piece of furniture, about 6 feet wide, big speaker grills on each side with a 4" speaker hidden behind each one!
