    This is tragically fake. RCA got pretty wild in the 60s and 70s, justly earning them the nickname “Rugs, chickens, and automobiles.”

    Unfortunately, they didn’t get quite this silly. If they had, I would own one. I’m a huge fan of retro GE and RCA consumer electronics.

      Built a CDP1802 project?

      Maybe I’m too young to see it, but it feels like RCA disappeared into the crowd of American TV manufacturers by the 1970s-- why would I pick a RCA TV over a Zenith or Magnavox?

      I’m sort of a fan of JVC the same way-- their hi-fi stuff was competent and boldly styled, so sells for less silly money than some other brands today.

        Haven’t done anything with the cdp1802, I’m no good with that sort of stuff.

        But yeah, RCA really had a long slump and it didn’t differentiate its products well. They were really trying to make SelectaVision their flagship product and they just couldn’t get it to market ever.

        If I actually want a piece of retro gear, I usually try and look for something from The General and then end up with a Sony because they were better products and have survived better.

      I’m pretty sure they make circular beds. Get one of those and surround it with a dome of monitors, like a miniature version of The Sphere’s stage.

      edit start with this list of round beds a bunch of them have useless bluetooth features so they’re already halfway there lmao

      protective bed walls

      Crenelations would be nice too. Maybe with loopholes? Or that might be - cough - overkill.
