For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Yo, did you ever have one with a knob?
We had the knob but it broke off. So we had a pair of pliers sitting on top of the TV to turn the dial (from 2 through 13).
My friends weren't as poor so they'd have a converter box. It had an actual remote and that sound it made as it flipped through all the channels. I can't even describe the sound but if you know, you know it.
I had found one at home with only knobs, and at the time I dug that out of the attic, the only TV it could receive was state TV. An B&W. Still, It was amazing to me that i could even receive TV wireless. Turning those knobs felt... decisive!
yeah, looked like it was from the 50's
