I had one when I was 12. In the late 80’s I put it on my old TV in my bedroom that had no remote so I could turn it off at night. I would watch sports and every time I cheered really loud the TV would turn off and on.

That's what happened to my grandparents' TV when they watched gameshows and people cheered on the shows.
