The spots for the rectangular-tube RCA Victor Color TV were probably circa 1965, as I don’t think they (or anyone else) had rectangular-tube color TV’s until then.
And of course, you got your best enjoyment from your RCA Victor Stereo by playing RCA Victor Stereo Records.
Keep your RCA Victor Color TV Set running properly………..use ONLY genuine RCA Victor Tubes!
If they see just an iPad, probably they gonna shit brix.
RCA was virtually the only manufacturer “pushing” color TV set sales in 1961- they were also behind the ONLY TV network [NBC] scheduling color series on a regular, yet somewhat limited, basis at that time (CBS wasn’t interested {they didn’t want to help RCA sell more color sets}, and ABC had yet to gain the financial and technological resources to do so).
what’s ‘rare-earth phosphors?’
The bus driver in the last commercial is the guy who played Jerry’s dad on “Seinfeld”(I think).
i have an rca!!!!!
If you,ve ever saw a movie called The Lady In White, the little boy Frankie’s father had one of those tv,stereos with the record player. It was in the scene where the little girl ghost put on the record Have You Ever Seen A Dream Walking. I think we always had a color TV at my house. I was born in 63, and can only remember color TVs. My mom had a stereo like that you could stack records on the top and it would drop a record on the turntable? And play one, then another.
Back when the workers in the USA made televisions and stereos they last forever and worked wonderfully. Not like the China junk they sell at super-slave-mart
@RBAILEYY Japan makes better cars, stereos, and televisions.
Vintage Plug ‘n’ Play!
I have a related video on YouTube you might be interested in about how television sets were sold from the 1950s-1970s entitled, “TV MAN: THE SEARCH FOR THE LAST INDEPENDENT DEALER.”
i think about my grandmother who is still an active 96-year old… imagine all of the technology she has lived through…and continues to experience every day. we were taking movie clips of her with a cell phone….
I’m so grateful for what he does i think i would have sex with him!
i have an ancient RCA floor model that still works fine. it’s the retro basement family room tv.
i’d love to have one of those!
ira, we heart you!
I put a 19 inch monitor into a 1956 RCA tv a couple of years ago. It worked fine. I would like to find a Philco Predicta to modify.
At 1:30, showing the picture tube, they fail to show the x rays that are generated when high energy electrons bombard the metal oxides on the surface of the screen.
WE BE JAMMIN MAN!!!!!!!hahahaha
@floooky1 Oh yeah, and we had to walk miles in the snow to school, up hill both ways.
Those TV’s looked just like the Zenith I watched when I was little. You had to sit on the floor right in front of the TV so you could change the channel. “You’ll ruin your eyes!” was heard often. Even in the NY metropolitan area all there was to watch was the three networks and PBS “Channel 13.”
not really. RCA quality was good back then but didn’t cease to be a major quality brand until the 1990′s when it was acquired by Thomsen.
Color televisions had been out since the early 1950′s in the United States. However, the RCA color television commericial here wasn’t from 1961. It was from sometime after 1965 because it was of a television with a rectangular tube rather than round. And that type of tube wasn’t available until after 1965.
to hippee77: ya know I have often thought the same thing as you. One of the major TV companies should reissue “retro looking sets” but with all the modern componants. I just have a gut feeling they would sell alot of them…..even black & white ones.
Televison has come a long way as a kid we had an RCA tv.that had a record player,a stereo,8 track player
WTF? Which one’s Eddie Cochrane?
@BigDaddy1968 He was, but I iked his show.
I have a Cd of one of their albums with Blue Room on it. It’s a great little tune. I’ve heard other versions and no one else does it justice.
At Least spell their names correctly – how could there be a Q in McGuire?
You have to understand that, at the time, Godfrey was on almost every single day (except Sundays) in one form or another: he had a daily 90 minute radio/TV simulcast [60 minutes on TV], the Monday night “TALENT SCOUTS” (also simulcast,; the Wednesday night hour-long variety show, AND an hour-long “highlights” show of his previous week’s radio shows on Saturdays {“ARTHUR GODFREY’S DIGEST”}. That made him almost as unavoidable to miss as Oprah is these days…
Godfrey was a prick. I guess he had power because he sure didn’t have talent.
Sadly though, the president of the United States is involved with mobsters right now, homey.
STA ZITO !
They were so talented and gorgeous… but I saw them on a reunion TV show about 10 years ago… they all had hideous matching plastic surgery and hairdos… completely creepy!
perfect perfect perfect harmony
I believe it was Phyllis who got involved with Mafioso Sam Giancanna from Chicago.
I really enjoy their music. I wish I could find a video of Blue Room. Sadly though, didn’t one of the sisters get involved with a mobster of the day ?
They were and still are the best in looks and voices and what nice figures.
sadley he was
I am new to all this, but I wonder why people were EVER fooled by Arthur Godfrey.
I could tell w/in a minute of watching this that he was a, in the words of our GREAT former President, a Major League A-hole!
haha
Big Daddy
the at&t angels grew up with them
I love their sound. Just great!
No Budget, I’ll give youthe images you have to do the research. Teach me something.
I am 67, yes it was the best of times. Less was really more, poorer was really so rich. God love those days and all those dear hearts and gentle people. Thry will never be forgotton as long as I am alive.
I appreciate whaT TV days is doing by saving precious vidios! But I would like to request that when you give us something to watch, tell us what it is ! Your great!
No wonder why she said Swicking Petes! What a total creep!
I appreciate the early times as well, and Im 32.
I would love to have lived during the 1950s, what a fantastically incredible time to be alive!
Note that when they get up from the chairs they do it in unison! The song was lovely, as was the record, but it hardly made a dent. They didn’t have to wait long for a hit, however, and after that they were regularly climbing up the charts. They were on the perfect label for their sound, Coral. Very bright and savvy girls, disciplined and hard workers. They still look and sound great.
Arthur godfrey is my great uncle
The future? During one’s youth it’s looked to with anticipation, one’s dotage w/ chagrin. The past finds ships: “Tirpitz”; “Hood”; “Great Eastern”; “Eastland,” rolling, foundering, listing. History finds Arthur Godfrey dodging alien craft in 1965. Tawdry acts bespeak tawdry crimes as in the present we find no future and a doctored past.
