Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room Remembering when (for the over-50 crowd!)

I don't think there was enough core memory ever manufactured that would allow you to turn the set off then back on and remember which channel you were watching. That would probably take a couple of megs of memory.

My grandparents had a set with a remote in the late fifties that would use vibrating reeds to activate a motor that would rotate the tuner rotating mechanism. Quite the hot shoe device of the day. Hot shoe???? Whut???
