A Super Bowl party at old aunt Grace's house... This is going to be so lame! Oh, quit whinin'. How bad could it be? Yeah... Buttermilk and deviled eggs, kids? Squint
Aunt Grace could sell that working antique to a collector, pay off the mortgage, buy a 60" flat screen and prepay full cable service for the nest 10 years.
Out of Curiosity – Where is she hiding the digital to analog converter box to let that set work with digital broadcasts?
I grew up watching a 19" B&W Zenith with a channel knob that only went to “11”. If I wanted to watch the educational channel on “13”, which was known as NET before they changed the name to PBS, I had to balance the knob between 11 and UHF. And the remote control to the TV was ME. “Change it to channel 5. Turn it up! Turn it down!”
That brings back memories. When I was a kid my grandpa ran the football pool for my uncles bar. I spent many a Sunday watching black and white football games on the old console TV.

It occurs to me that the first TV I ever watched had a screen the size of an iPad but with a case the size of a suitcase.
