What Does This Box Do?​

Remember this little box of magic? This little beauty sat right next to the TV and made family nights a whole lot more exciting—with plenty of clicking, tuning, and maybe a little tapping when the picture got fuzzy. No remotes, no fancy screens… just pure patience and a twist of the dial! Any guesses what this gadget was used for? Whether it's from your attic or a local shop, what's the most heartwarming nostalgic item you've discovered?

It’s a TV antenna! We didn’t have this growing up. Our parents believed that changing the channel and fussing with the antenna was what kids did. Later on they used remote control. Now I’m sure they had us do it because they were tired at the end of their work day. Or so they said? Who knows.
