Oddity Archive: Episode 250.5 – Ben’s Junk – Telemeter Pay TV Box (Circa 1960) (Patreon)

This seemed to be one of those items I was predestined to have.  Having said that, even though I've covered it on the "Prehistoric Pay-Per-View" episode, I still feel oddly unqualified to discuss this one--as such, this is gonna be a somewhat wonky Ben's Junk (perish the thought!).  Also, given that this was partially directly piped into consumers' homes, this is one of those rare Ben's Junks where the item cannot be demoed.  If nothing else, this video exists so there is a little more info on it online (not to mention, some cleaner pics than what are out there now).

And, yes, next week will be this year's Thanksgiving episode.  We'll be dealing strictly in numbers this time.

Also, welcome aboard to our latest $10 donor!  Your name will start appearing in the end credits in the next week or two.
