I dount they can actually pick up a working TV





I had the opportunity to look through the windows of one parked in a
layby once.

Inside there were light blue Formica worktops and instrument panels
that looked as though they had come from a 50s kitchen.

On the panel, there were some old switches and meters and an altimeter
from a WW2 aircraft. Presumably this was used to check the height
of people's antennas.

There were some clipboards and the remains of several visits to the
chippy.

Presumably it fooled some people.
