This is rediculous ! ya, you could also use a leaf to wipe your ass as well.

so what is that suppose to mean ?

Buy one; re-engineer the microprocessor, drive electronics, and power supply to use tubes.

Oh, and then replace the LCD with a CRT.

It wouldn't really need to use tubes in my opinion, especially the problematic 6GH8 (I know next to nothing about tubes, but that tidbit was just about force-fed in another thread), but a PCB that doesn't use surface-mount everything and tear like heavy-gauge cardboard would be a must.

The concept of letting a flat-panel "TV" even cross my threshold, let alone buying one, is alien to me.

I just wanted to see an air conditioned room-full-of-tubes and relays that would have to be used to poorly approximate what would otherwise be a silicon microprocessor.

Watching Desk Set would be the next best thing.

It would be a simple rotary encoder switch like the ones used as volume controls in some modern amps.
