Grandma’s TV Guide Was Basically an Ancient Scroll
While we’re out here losing remotes weekly, my late grandma kept her TV operating guide from 1962 like it was the Magna Carta. It’s got diagrams, knobs labeled “UHF,” and instructions for channels that probably stopped existing before color TV did.
This thing could survive a nuclear blast and still explain how to adjust “vertical hold.” It’s not just a manual — it’s a time capsule from when TVs weighed more than small horses and took five minutes to warm up. Forget Google — Grandma had faith in paper, patience, and maybe a firm smack on the side of the set.
