Some of my more well-to-do friends had one of these in their family rooms.

Back then, "well-to-do" folks had both a living room and a family room.

We only had a living room, so we only had small Philco-Ford B&W until the 80's, then we got a color tv.

Still only had a living room though.

We had two TVs.

The big one and the little that worked on top of it.

Not to brag, but my basketball shorts in the 70s were short enough I didn't need pockets to play with anything
