Taking a look at my 1976 15 inch GE black and white television. The model number is XB3160BK and the chassis number is 15xB - Just a fun general overview of the TV, sharing some stories about it, showing you how I have it hooked up to receive signals today, and even taking it apart to show you the innards. There's nothing wrong as far as I know with the TV, so I didn't bother to brush up on any terminology on what's inside this thing. I only care once it's broken. Hope everyone has fun looking at it.
