When I was a kid in Tulsa in the 1970's my dad got cable TV. This is very similar to the cable box we had. I have all kinds of pleasant memories of running across the room and kicking the cord causing the box to fly across the room and my dad start yelling at me. Good times. Me and my buddies figured out you can press the 5 and 7 channel buttons at the same time and get the Escapade naughty channel.
This is from an ebay auction.
Ummmm...dont remember those. I remember the original atari though.
wow, i'm dating myself here, but yep, I remember those. Haven't seen one of those in years. And yep, I knew about the channel 5/7 thing too
That thing is mega-sweet. How much is the buy it now?

Just for you, Froz. Let us know how it goes.

Channel 25 was ESPN, 26 was MTV. HBO was 14 & Cinemax was 15.
That thing is nuts. I'll wait until the auction is closer to over.

I didn't know you were in Tulsa.
I defected to Owasso. Hate it. Please send rescue party. Over.
No can do. Currently in Texas. Maybe Homey's available. Over.
Wow! I remember those! The one I really remember was a little white marker that went from 1 to 40, I think. I think it was just one straight line, and I remember it because the hard plastic hurt my fingers to move.
I remember those too. Haven't seen one of those in quite a while. I wonder how many are still around.
If it was the one that you slid horizontally, that's the one we had! I remember getting yelled at for sliding it too fast. TMC 43 rmfo!Wow! I remember those!

SoonerinabileneOh sweet jesus. Its like watching the special olympics in high definition on here now.
it sucks when i go home now and all the channels are all goofed up
and i can't imagine why you wouldn't like Owasso
we always used to make fun of the inane sayings on that church on 86th Street West of Spencer's
no ****, our favorite one was "Jesus is just God with skin on him"
i remember this one and a lighter colored one with white buttons, i'm thinking yours is the later modelWhen I was a kid in Tulsa in the 1970's my dad got cable TV.

those were awesome. I wore ours out to the point where it took no force at all to slide back and forth. actually stopping on the channel you wanted took incredible dexterity and precision.
I seem to remember that you could push say...channel 4 and 6 down at the same time and get channel 5.
Before the days of remote control, our TV had the usual turn knob on it. I had found a station between the channels. If you stopped midway on the turn, it would show the new station called ESPN. And no, we didn't have cable.
I'm baaaack!!!!
Whats wrong with Owasso???
You really set yourself up there, dude.
