I had a 9" or 10" B&W TV with the two dials for tuning VHF & UHF channels. Sometimes I miss those days! :wink:

I didn't have a VIC 20 in the eighties (ZX81, Spectrum, C64)..had to go round a friends house and see his VIC on the front room colour TV.

I had to put up with a black and white portable TV for my ZX81 and Spectrum until my parents were kind enough to get me a colour one in about 84

Here you go! Me with my Vic-20 and Commodore 128 back in 1986. Yep, upgraded from VIC to C128 (which I still have AND use by the way :) )

I started out with an ugly 10" B/W TV. Actually, the small white TV pictured in Boray's earlier response looks exactly like the one I had. I Used that for a couple years then moved on to a NEC Computer monitor 80, (Green Monochrome). Man I loved that monitor.
