Iv'e seen several collectors and seller's ridiculed on at different times over small stuff. The fact is, older collectors eventually age and pass away. Newer collectors that are not born in generation when equipment was new, are critical. Without their enthusiasm and dedication, many an item would go in the Cr@p dumster. An effort is done for any collector on time, space and money and energy. Just the equipment to check flybacks ,crts and also variacs are harder to find anymore. A helpful way to guide collectors to preserve sets is good and FRIENDLY advice,such as PMing member are sets worth more as parts or entire set. Some sets aren't even valuable yet, finders for parts or TVs should be welcomed. Encouragement and being positive are good for hobby.
