I'd hate to think that I owned a motel and had to keep 40 roundies running right! That was a significant investment at the time.
I will only tell part of this long story: when I was a kid we ended up in a strange town after midnight desperately trying to find a motel. We never did...it got so desperate that Dad stopped at a flophouse on a dark street. When he came back he said 1) that the desk clerk said sorry, they didn't have enough "girls" for all of us (!) and 2) they had a TV in the lobby that I would love to have. It long bothered me that I didn't get to go in and see it!
One summer in high school I went to a program held at a former college, converted into a church retreat. In the lobby of the largest building was a Magnavox bw combo which I'm sure had been out of service for years. Too big to get rid of, I guess!
