You can go as far as you want to in this hobby..1980's sets are neat, they usually still work, & most of the time, they aren't too expensive. But sooner or later, you WILL run across a cute little refugee from the late 1940s..Mine was a 1948 7" Admiral bakelite cased set. They're still pretty common, and aren't too complicated. With a little TLC, they can give a pretty decent picture, at least something that will "WOW!!" yr friends. A late Fifties-early Sixties "Roundy" color set is another one that can give a VERY nice picture, something that will make you wonder WHY they ever bothered to get away from CRTs.
