When I was a kid in the early-mid 70s we had a TV with a remote.


TV with remote. Yes, the remote is opening the box surrounded by Tonka toys.

What I wouldn't give to have those tonka toys now for my grandsons.

Yes, the remote worked for the TV and a little later, was also able to fetch beer from the fridge.

.

In the very early 60's the neighbour had just got a TV so I went to look. Diagonal lines moving across the screen and a crackling noise. I thought "yes, it's pretty cool, but I don't know what all the fuss is about."

He didn't wrestle too long. Supposedly he didn't like it. He was so powerful, the professional wrestlers couldn't do anything with him.
