No, I didn't turn into a hippie, dangerous or otherwise. I was dangerous to our 1965 Montgomery Ward Airline color TV, however, and broke one of the controls on the back panel fiddling with it trying to get the picture "perfect." There was also a service switch that compressed the image down to a horizontal bar about 1/4" thick. I discovered that by opening the shutter of my camera and swiveling it back and forth from side I could get an effect like this, without drugs:

All part of a continuing fascination I had back then of taking pictures off the TV screen. For instance, I have shots of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley both in black and white and color. How many other people can say that?

There used to be transparent plastic sheets that had various colors running horizontally down. They came in different screen sizes, with 2 sided tape along the edges to fasten them to the black and white screen. The results were not unlike the LBJ picture above. It was the poor man's color TV. We sold plenty of them.

Didn't I read a comment somewhere asking if you hadn't turned into a dangerous hippie at the time?
