If you bent a hanger just right, and made little loops to go under the screws on the 300ohm connection on the back of the TV.... might work.

Ok... how about this: The giant vacuum tube testing machine at the hardware store.

Tube testing was my friends father-in-law's business..UTM...U Test 'em

The white igloo was "The Igloo" on Douglas and Monroe.
The "Zips" were yellow I think. There was one near Whitmer.

Baseball cap sundaes.

You could use the brim as an overflow.

Remember Burger Chef? Always thought they were better than McDonalds. It was a real treat to get a burger there, instead of the greasy home made burger with regular white bread (soggy). Remember Eddie Murphy's bit about the home made burger?

My mother worked for Zip's for a while in the office doing paperwork or something.
Are any of those old igloo buildings still around??

There is a movie on Showtime right now called "The Boys of 2nd Street park". Six men reminisce about growing up in 1950's and 60's in Brooklyn, NY. True stories - not really a movie.

No malls. Going "downtown" to go shopping.

Or the Cassett that had the wire that came out of it so that you could listen to your CD player that would sit on the seat next to you.
