Interesting story. I haven't a clue as to what was our first TV. I
know when I was in my early teens or just prior to that ~ 10 years old,
we had a Magnavox. Earlier than that, I don't think we could afford a
TV. Come to think of it, I don't remember watching TV at all in my
early youth. This would be 1950 to 1960. Hmmm. Maybe I was deprived
as a kid.
So, if you had a Hallicrafters and a TV to boot, you were as you say,
UP TOWN. Lucky guy.
