Visited the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park and noticed something odd about the TV in room 217

I took a tour of the Stanley Hotel last month while on a trip through Colorado. In room 217, the one from The Shining, they have an old CRT TV that's supposedly from the 1970s. But I looked closer and the brand logo was slightly off, like a replica someone made for decoration. Has anyone else noticed fake props in famous movie locations?

Those Stanley Hotel people probably grabbed the closest old TV from a thrift store and called it a day. I remember seeing the typewriter in room 217 and the keys looked way too modern for the 1920s setting of the book. Small stuff like that bugs me when you pay for a tour that's supposed to be authentic. Just slap a different brand sticker on it and hope nobody notices, right?

Yeah the typewriter thing drives me NUTS too, just put a cloth over it or something.
