Thought I'd make something representing an old TV set.
The star of the show is the (late) best selling authoress Lena Kennedy - my wife's first husband's mother - that's my stepson holding the lamb (Very long story) - he's 31 on Tuesday and will be getting this. He'll hate it.

I was going to put a walnut veneered mount slip about 2" around the 'screen' with the 'knobs' (remember them? Left hand large one was on/off/volume, right hand large one was channels - 4 clicks max - and the inner small ones were brightness & contrast) inside that and then cut and 'V' groove some speakers, legs and an indoor ariel. Couldn't be arsed in the end though.
This was after the days of that type of TV though - it was 1984 - my wife swears - but it was first aired in April 86. Apparently there's no archive at the TV station, but we have a (very poor quality) video which we must get digitised - or whatever the correct word is for transferring to a disc/hard drive.
