rabbit ears (untuned)
Plural: pairs of untuned rabbit ears
Man, rabbit ears, I remember these. They got all the channels, if you held the base at a twenty-five degree angle while whispering a prayer to Heinrich Hertz.
And you can wear them on your head like the classic show My Favorite Earthling! What do you mean you don't do that?
Anyway, if you're really lucky, these ears will get VBS and HCN.
