You're a kind person.
>>1453200Those were called signal correcting diodes, colloquially called "bunny rears" if I recall correctly.
Some times called "bug wires" because they resemble the antennae of certain insects. You see, back then TV signals were too good, basically 1000000000 trillion K.
So the human brain wouldn't be able to handle such definition, and these wires worked as a sort of "valve", letting out a lot of the quality back onto the ionosphere, lowering the quality of the picture itself to a level the human mind can grasp.
Also I think you can smoke crack with these, but I'm not sure how.
