I guess I have been fortunate thus far. I have had all positive reactions to my radio and TV collection. Poeple love to see the old sets and always ask "Does it work?". No one oustide the readers of this forum have seen my Zenith roundie yet but I bet it will draw a comment or two.
There was one time when I was at work negotiating with a coworker on the price of a Hallicrafters S53-A Shortwave "boatanchor" tube radio. The set was in fair condition but very restorable. Someone walked buy and said that piece of junk should be put in the garbage where it belongs. I tried to educate him on the value and functionality of vintage radios but it was a wasted effort. I bought the set for forty dollars, and eventually restored it. It has worked well for years and has become one of my best and favorite radios. Some people think that just because something is old, it must be of little value, functional or otherwise.
