When TV had only 2 colors

Pong came out and I thought I was really wheeling til my GF axed if I put money in the machine. Damn pot
The first tv I remember was a ge black and white. My dad got it from a friend for free because it wouldn't turn on by the switch. Dad rigged a toggle switch on the side. It would only get channels up to twelve. The next one was a race floor model black and white that would get channels up to 63. Man, I was in hog heaven. I. Could watch ultraman and wrestling (raslin) and all the other shows my school friends telemed about. That was about 1967.
