Yeahbut, they all did it, especially the color TVs.  I presume aquadag is 
autocorrect for Anode.

The aquadag HV on early TVs was a common source of problems. Get a little dust 
on the top of the TV's cathode tube, and you'd get these periodic "snap!" 
sounds when it would discharge through the dust.

  It was TV of the mind.  I didn’t want to risk going into the house on the off 
chance that the B&W TV would actually work.  It was terribly flakey.  Had some 
kind of HV problem where it would go very dark after a few minutes.  

  So I stuck to the radio.

  We had a Buick too, but ours didn't have a TV, so we had to watch it on our 
black and white TV in the house.
