Television Set for the Differently Abled

Very forward-looking and thoughtful of Westinghouse to create a TV set that aided one-handed people. Of course, nowadays you only need one finger (on the remote) to tune!

Made for right-handed people, of course.

I like that built in antenna feature. Can't imagine it would be any better than rabbit ears, which didn't work very well in Burbank, CA. How did you adjust it? By spinning the tv around?
