Swede’s Photographs

Good morning, friends. 🌺🌺🌺

19 December 2024

Once upon a time in the olden days I had a portable television that I purchased used because I could not afford a new one. This television had a 14-inch screen and rabbit ears on top of the set. Now I realize that people born in the 21st Century may not know what rabbit ears are, so I will attempt a description: rabbit ears were a sort of indoor antenna made two extendable rods that looked rather like the feelers on an insect - bet that cleared it up. While the TV worked okay it had one minor defect, there was no knob to turn the channel; so, I improvised with pliers. Okay, I should explain what a knob was on a TV, but I'm out of characters.
