See, now that's just the TV stand for the newer TV on top!

But seriously, why the fake drawers in these? The drawer handles even rotated, but you'd just be pulling against the wood.

That's eerily similar to what I grew up with. Like: "are you my sibling, and is that actually my old house"-level similar.

Edit:nm - we had wood floors, and the fan on the right was white.

Wow, old memory unlocked, we had that exact tv (or maybe another model that looked very similar). It was the good TV for a long time but never made it to be the less good TV in the basement because, well look at it, it's a tube TV built into a fucking cabinet, just throw it out.

Oh my god !!! That's the TV we had when I was a kid !!!!

Peak would've been a grey Zapper.

Looks like model used in cs_militia in Counter Strike Source. Or at least reminds me of it

great picture. I'll bet that TV didn't even have one of the old style remotes to change channels

Oh man, this reminds me of the Sony Trinitron my family had growing up. We inherited it from my grandparents on my dad's side when I was very young.

My grandpa died before I was old enough to remember him being alive, and my grandma we lost to dementia/Alzheimer's not long after.... So we got their TV.

Worked great for so many years, but somewhere around the 25-30 year mark, the picture had all but lost most of the color and I'm pretty sure that we had a failure in one of the emitters so one of the colors would only sometimes be there. We didn't keep it around after that started happening regularly.

It was like this, a huge cabinet on wheels, and it was flanked by two massive speakers the full height of the unit, and about 10" off each side of the screen.

That TV was home to our NES and SNES consoles for a long time, and eventually our Sega Genesis.

We had a lot of good times sitting on the floor playing games on that thing.

My grandparents had one very much like this. It was so much fancier than ours. It even had a remote!

What do you use for you irregular Nintendo?

I'll see myself out 🤣

Now most people need massive TVs, but still spend most of the time looking at the small screen on the phone.

Those TVs were in a lot of middle class homes. I think huge is pretty exaggerated. Having a house on the block with those 4 person 40-50 in TV's was pretty common in a lot of areas IMO.

Yeah, I'm a little jealous of that cool ass setup. I used to have something like it, though not as nice.

I have a stereo system still, complete with tape deck and turntable.

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

I definitely would if I had the space and time to build it. Too many projects too little time (and space)

Not that compact stereo system. My old sharp boom box sounded better than those.

Especially if you had to hookup a new system or player to it.

I think that's a ps3 to the left of the TV

I understood they just don't exist anymore, am I mistaken?

I don’t want to brag but I have my 1985 Bang & Olufsen music system still in use. Cassette player, CD-player and vinyl player all work well. They don’t make devices like that anymore.

Probably a relatively easy fix.

I've got one at my son's place we need to get rid of. I probably should just get the sawzall and have him dispose over time
