I love the kind of fixes that are done by glueing, tapeing, smashing or crushing.
Anybody remember the old days when watching t.v. and the picture would start to roll???? If so then you also remember the fix for the problem.

Yea the fine tune knob - but to change channels, the vise grips did the job. Always spun the antenna, if you had a roof top, it took one to spin it and at least another to yell out the window how the picture was doing. When it look good, then back to the fine tuner knob to tweak a little better when possible. It sure was high tech when we got the automatic antenna rotor so I dad didn't send me up the ladder again. I want to say it was an Archer brand but not sure. The vise grips lasted longer than the factory knob

I remember an episode of the HoneyMooners where Ralph bought his first T.V and Ralph had Ed get on the roof to move the antena around.....

The fine tune knob???
We were not that technolgically gifted in our house....The youngest child was told to "go fix the set" as which time meant giving the set an open handed slap on the side. Always had to be the right side of the set for it to work for some reason.
I always wondered what the fine tune adjustment knob was for.
