>>When I was a kid, my grandmother had a floor model radio/turntable (78rpm) with button presets (inside was string). It was a beautiful piece of furniture (I wish I had it now). Anyway, all the preset buttons were brown except for the one on the extreme right end which was red. It was labelled 'TV'.

You know, I don't recall if anybody ever pressed it. I imagine somebody must have, but I didn't. I did love to lay on the floor in front of that radio and listen to the shows - "X minus 1", "Inner Sanctum", "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar", etc, etc.
