Television... of the FUTURE!


Presenting the Ur flat screen television of 1969–complete with rotary dial for changing channels. Ah, the uneven and unpredicatable pace of progress.

Note that the electronics box is five times the volume of the screen.

Those of you with the DVD of George Pal's The Time Machine, skip ahead to where the Time Traveler arrives in 1964.

In the store window....
"Latest Tubeless Television"

Yes, it had knobs also.

PS:
You can buy a USB knob for your PC.
$40 - $90.
