There are plenty of cases where I can point out a newer version of something that does the job better/cheaper than the old version.
Audio collectibles are a slightly larger niche than old TV collecting, granted, but it's still a niche. 99% of people are going to choose the digital-remote control piece of disposable garbage over a 1965 Fisher X-1000-2 (or whatever).
What I believe the point to be is, why do there seem to be so many people willing to fill up their homes with Franklin Mint gas-pumps, Pink Elvis barstools, Marlyn Monroe wine, and other such non-sense, yet the idea of having an old B&W TV is like asking for cancer volunteers?
*BTW, that Marlyn Monroe wine is no joke. I had a good friend who was a real 50s nut... Down to owning a '59 Ford, and having a rec room full of all kinds of 50s-type CRAPOLA (re-pops made in china). He had actual Marlyn Monroe wine!
