TeeVee over Fibre

But watch out, if this is in a location with weather extremes you either need some good stuff for that or have it in a somewhat climate-stable shed up there. Electrolytics, LCDs and such don't like hard freezes, and they don't like very high temps either.

These guys look pretty good...

The way I heard it, the mother was thought of as the Queen and didn't figure >It wasn't "marketed" at all.

You're very opinionated. Too bad you're so ignorant.

Ah, here we go, page 11 of this issue has one shown clearly:

IIRC, the phones remained the property of the telephone company, but some choices were offered as to which one you wanted.

BTW, you'd first think the article on page 52 was referring to Hockney or someone like that, but no.

Wow, great find there Spehro; thanks!

Too bad that you are such a goddamned retard. That was not an ad. An ad is for items for sale. The phone was not sold, it was the sole property of Bell Telephone or Western Electric. That was 1967, the year of your "ad".

In the mid seventies, THEN one could buy one and keep it, but there was no ad campaign then either.

The "campaign" was to garner popularity so they could justify continued manufacturing.

The ad was for selling extension services. If you could read, you would find that to be obvious. Particualrly since the phones were NOT sold. So, if anything at all, the "ad" for the Princess Phone was a "feature" one could order along with a line extension.

No shit. That makes the ad exactly what the wording states. An ad for extension services.

Did not examine it any further. Also, I think you missed the page number by one.

Really, AlwaysWrong? I seem to remember seeing "House for Rent" ads in the newspaper. I've even seen adds for doctor's offices. I suppose they're for sale, AlwaysWrong?

AlwaysWrong is always wrong.

You're too funny, DimBulb.

Enough alcohol ads in there to choke an alcoholic elephant.

At one time there was an extra monthly charge for the Princess phone and later, for DTMF so it was 'marketed'.
