Baby science confirms that no modern electronic appliance offers tactile satisfaction like the sticky chunky clicks of an analog television channel knob
Even more fun when you lose the knob and have to use pliers to change the channel!
This is rad - got a pair of seven month old twins, might have to do something similar when they get a little older.
Immediately after I posted that my discover feed served this up to personally attack me bsky.app/profile/geft...
Me from about that age recommends applying a magnet. Me from the current age does not.
That is a very cute antique remote control.
My budding electronics curiosity circa age 12 led me to wonder what may have existed past the last channel on the knob. I twisted SO HARD the TV was stuck at the non-existent channel 13 forever after.
Except when I was his age watching Sesame Street involved fiddling with the UHF dial.
22 yr old dude here, I says gimme the clunky chunky switches, knobs, buttons and cartridges. Switch cards are too small!
VHF only... That smooth UHF dial was a nightmare.
Cable boxes wired remotes. You know the ones. Member?
