@Chas, Yeah, I saw the extensions on ePay. I figured that WinkyDink was attempting to be as period-corect as possible. I was stunned that I was not able to find actual TV cords for the period. Fortunately, you have a nice collection.
@ WinkyDink, was just discussing the show with Ms. Fixr. She had the crayons and screen. She and I are both lifelong NY Metro Area residents, myself living in the Huntington Township area my entire life. I wonder if it was on WOR, as I remember, as a kid, that we used to watch Dick Tracy with "Officer" Joe Bolton and Popeye with "Cap'n" Jack Mc Carthy, (who, in later years, used to MC the NY St. Patrick's Day parade), all on WPIX, Channel 11. NYC had the 3 major networks, NBC, CBS and ABC, and 3 "indies", WOR Ch 9 (They may have been part of RKO), WPIX Ch11 and WNYW, previously WNEW, and originally, WABD (for Allen B. DuMont), Ch5.
