The GE Widescreen 1000 retailed for $2,800 in 1978, equivalent to $12,723 in 2022 dollars
The screen size was 45 inches measured diagonally (36 inches across and 27 inches vertically), not 75 inches

Free-standing TVs look so trashy.

That thing is basically a Mardi Gras float.

Only thing missing is the kid that had to go outside to turn the old school 20+ foot antenna to get a better picture of the game.

Growing up, we rocked a beautiful bastard like this back in the day

We had this setup, although I don’t remember if it was an RCA or GE. The VCR alone cost over 1200.00, so over 4 grand, total. No cable, 2-3 channels.
I believe the family made me get rid of the VCR when I was decking the attic floor. In 2010. That mfer weighed about 50 lbs. The remote was on a wire which let you pause or unpause. Sweet, at the time.

Probably weighed more than some GE vehicles today.

Just think of all the family pictures your mom would put on top of that thing.

Years ago when I got married, I bought a 36" tv. I thought I was the cat's arse.

We had a 27" console Zenith with the "Space phone"
The phone feature was cool as hell but the people on the other end hated it because it sounded like you were talking in a cave.

Do they come in different shades of wood?
That dark brown will clash with my living room cabinets.
