Hi folks,

There is more than a language barrier here, there is a price barrier!
Obviously, this newbie on e..y does not want to part with the TV
set his/her parents bought in the fifties. He does indeed claim it
is still working even though it is over 50 years old. I bet this seller
will still have zero feedback on e..y in a year... But let's not start
a discussion on e..y feedback!

P.S.: I should have said grandparents instead of parents. Also, this
is a B&W set, so this discussion is in the wrong forum. I was told
(during a tour for new employees at Canadian Marconi in 1986) that
the company R&D labs had built a prototype color TV set around 1966,
but in that year it was decided that consumer electronics would
not be part of the future of the company. I would pay $750 or more
for that prototype!
