We had a white spherical TV in the early 70's, from a bit of googling probably either a Keracolor Sphere or a JVC Videosphere - i have a photo of me in the living room with it somewhere.

I can still hear and feel those TV buttons from back then. I remember on a later "normal" TV the whole button panel folded out to reveal the tuning wheels, I think?
I remember we had one where you pushed a panel and a draw came out with the tuning dials. My father gradually edged up the screen size as they became cheaper - they were all rented of course.

I had a white telly but it was only a black and white portable. I ran the sound out of the headphone socket into some big 4-ways. Coat hanger for aerial but lived on a hilltop back then so could get still get Granada, Central and S4C.
