My drain-like mind had already edited large parts of it as soon as I saw it.... ...!

LOL... ...!

I did do a quick 5 minute rotate, crop and edit of the image I found so it looked a tad better and had no background. I did not spend allot of time looking on Google for a better shot or updated version of the joke.

Can anyone remember the good old days when television receivers had tuning controls, volume controls, and colour controls, etc, on the front of the set...?
...Joy!....>>>



No confusing gadgets with dead batteries resulting in a blank screen and no sound, and with no other possibility of encouraging the set to burst into life... ...!
.
..and that's assuming that you know how to operate the darned thing in the first place... ...!

Paul...How I love old-fashioned Dials and Switches.... 8-)...!

Color controls on the front of that unit? What were they for, shades of gray?  
Perhaps you mean the sharpness/contrast controls? :-?
