When I moved to NC in 84, the house we rented had a Motorola Quasar "works in a drawer" TV, with that fine Space Command remote. It was a big old ornate wood cabinet that came with the place (house also came with party line phone service).
[Link: flashbak.com]There was a crack on the circuit board and the work around was to leave the drawer just lightly open, but it did still work in 1985 when we moved.
