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.
