#79 ... we had the Snoopy bedspread in white. Mom's uncle, a self-taught hobby artist, did a painting of the doghouse scene from it. He had a parlor-trick of having someone draw a random line or squiggle and he'd make a sketch out of it while they watched ... usually something risque, LOL.
#79 too! Who would want a vinyl bedspread? Kink of creepy or kinky! Wonder how well those sold ! Only at Sears! LOL! Greg

I wondered when
Thomasville started using wood veneer's over M.D.F. board sides. I know by 1986 they were on some lines. Maybe not the collectors cherry though. The fronts and tops were still all solid.

Vinyl bedspreads
I'd forgotten all about these. My cousin Craig had a black one on his bed when he was a teen in the mid 70's. I thought it was weird, but it went well with his bedroom, which had day-glo rock posters on the walls, lit by a black light. There were drapes to match, which made the room very dark.

That shows just how like Amazon Sears was...betcha couldn't find that at a store BUT they had 4 little SKUs (TFQK) to bulk out the selection in the catalogue!

We had one of those when I was a kid in the '50s. ours was simpler had a "meter" the pointed to directions as you pressed the long bar on top. I recall always over shooting the right direction and having to go back. After we moved we had a 50' tower put up with the motorized Channel Master box. You turned a big dial and the indicator would rotate in the control box.
Years later I had it replaced with one of the best rotors ever made a CDE. This unit had 5 push buttons for various channels and a dial if you wanted to do it manually. The rotor is still on the tower and operational 40+ years later, but I did replace the controller with a simpler version.
