FoundationEagle 637 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Judging by the pic with the guy in it, looks like the support structure is approximately 8 stories high from the top of the stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,142 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Structure still won't hold an old Magnavox console TV.. They weighed 38 tons.. Made from six pine trees Ya'll must have had the smaller economy version. Televisions as furniture. Boy, I don't miss those days. When I was in High School many, many years ago. I bought and old Magnavox TV at a thrift store for a big $15.00 investment. I also had to buy a couple of Tubes at the 7/11 to get it to work. The thing was huge my room was small so I put the TV in my closet and it still stuck way out into the room. All that it was black & White and I think the actual screen was only about 7". When I tell this story to my kids they just roll their eyes and I know they think I am telling a whopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDUBB4AU 5,121 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Sometimes to move the TV you just had to sell it with the house. We decided to move and not take the TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltigger21 0 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I remember the console televisions. Boy we thought we were stepping up in the world then. I was probably 8 or so when we got our first color television. Still remember the old black and white with 3 channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleCoTiger 1,957 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Look at the man standing in this photo ... gives a good idea to the scale of it. Looking at this structure and the scale of it, part of me half expects a Saturn V to be rolling up on the launch transporter any time now...
