Some of those things took a good five minutes for the vacuum tubes to all come up to temperature before the picture would clear. Put off enough heat to help heat the house in the winter.

The back panels were a real thrill for curious little boys. Some of the set back panels were basically uninsulated wiring boards with live voltage at various points.

Guess how I know.
