Second job I had I worked for an electrical company in Sunderland, used to sell radio/TV, white goods etc.
We used to rent a lot of TV’s, mainly 20-22″ B&W. I can remember selling TV’s and the excitement when 26″ colour came out!.
Strange thing is TV’s are one of the few things that have improved, increased in size and are cheaper now than they were 50 years ago!, a decent 26″ Philips was about £250 in the early 70’s, a decent LG 32″ now is only about £180 🙂
Obviously £250 in 1970’s was worth a lot more than it is today!.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
