Everyone got 2 -13; not everyone got 14 - 83.  You either had to have a newer antenna or have a second one on the stack.

We got 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11.  During bad weather we could get 17 and 28

The custom Conversion Vans of the late 70's and early 80's were always a trip

My parent bought a 77' dodge conversion van right off the show room floor, I  bought it off my mom for my first car.

16 with a van with a fridge and a bed in the back.....rolling party O0

We had no remote for our cable.  But we had this strange sliding channel changer.  We got all the Seattle channels, Vancouver and Victoria, BC area channels.  We also got KTVU from Oakland, later replaced by WTCG Atlanta (later known as WTBS).  We also got a Portland channel and Showtime.  That was about it.  But it was cool to have cable because the Canadian channels often had the same shows as the American channels.  So we could watch them at a different time since VCR's were not common or in existence then.
