Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

The RCA TT does sound clever and ahead of its time-the device appears to use a Sapphaire "Stylus" at very low tracking forces to trace the record's groove-and the ability to play both sides of the record without removing it from the TT sounds pretty advanced-we need a video of this machine in operation.surprized it didn't find its way into a jukebox.So the TT does use a stylus of some sort-but not a tracking system involving laser or other light as a Finial Laser TT does.The Finials were used for a very short time in some radio stations-DJ's liked them becuase you used it like a CD player.Cuts on the record could be cued up ahead of time and played when needed.The jock didn't have to handle a tone arm.
 
I also noticed that about the cigarette lighter in the Westinghouse ad, guess it was targeted at people who liked to puff away as they cooked. I can imagine the scene in the ad illustration a little differently, with a big old unfiltered Pall Mall hanging out of the mouth of the pretty young hostess, dropping ash all over the coffee.

 

Anyone else here remember the lead-in to Married With Children where Peg Bundy is making dinner while smoking, and in the next scene her dinner guest spears a still smoldering butt in her plate of spaghetti?
 
Zenith Color

I've always wanted that Zenith 6051. It is a great set and nice to look at.
But I did get close!
I have the Zenith 6015-2 round color with Space Command. I bought it in about 1977 and still have it. (Amvets, About $8.00 I think).
Ugly metal cabinet but when I put a new Sylvania CRT in it about 1978 the picture was absolutely stunning.
It actually only stopped working just recently, after a move. Haven't fixed it yet. The reliability of that set was absolutely amazing.
I used to be able to pull in stations from Indiana! It wasn't a great picture but I was flabbergasted.
