The only thing obsolete on our old sets is the tuner, or more specifically the use of the tuner for channel selection. The tuner as a component must still work to receive, so it as a component is not obsolete.
Realistically, in our everyday high-tech/junk, lazymans society, our old black and white, single speaker, NON REMOTE (dare I say it) televisions are, and have long been obsolete. God forbid having to use something like that. I have actually seen a welfare mom turn down a free 19", perfectly working, color, NON-REMOTE set because their teen son was going to be using it. OH, POOR KID!! Lets not torment him with extra physical movement! Actually, I think the mom was lazier than the boy. He likely would have adapted, as opposed to doing without. While mom knew that she could hold out a few days and flirt some poor, dumb guy right out of his "extra" set, or perhaps his ONLY set, depending on her looks. Single mothers seem to have special powers over free stuff, courtrooms, and DOCTORS.....Whats up?
