These were a valued piece of quality furniture. I seem to remember my parents being concerned that the wood tone matched the rest of the wood furniture in the room.

My folks had this kind of set, too. They were great -looking. My mother has one of those icky looking flat screen things on what looks lie a tv table... Sigh.

I had an Hitachi console. Best T.V. I ever had. Bought it in the early 80's. It finally went south about 5 yrs. ago. Had to have it repaired only once @ a cost of $80.

We got our first color tv from JCPenney in June of 1968. I was always designated the one to tune the color in just right. Lots of folks tvs were green or red--they had no clue how to get the color in. This was also the era of three television channels...and an antenna on the roof that had to be turned so you could get just the right picture...

We had a Quasar color TV with a cabinet very similar to this one, including the brass-colored trim handles. When my kids were at the crawling stage they loved to make noise by lifting the handle and letting it drop - clank! It could be a little annoying if you were trying to watch TV at the time. It was a piece of furniture, a very heavy one, but it had casters on it. Ours had some of the components hidden behind a concealed door on one side of the screen. Open the door and a section of components could be pulled out like a drawer. No remote control either. It had channel buttons near the on/off/volume knob, which you pulled to turn it on and pushed it back in to turn it off. I finally got rid of it about five years ago.
