I work in the electronics industry currently and the sad fact is most people don't really understand or care about this technology. The most common response is "Oh yeh, I remember those"

Unless you were close to the industry or just lived in that era, all people think is why in the world would you want to save and collect those old tv's.

None of them understand the simple fact that color tv in the 50's was a technology out of sync with the times. Most people were just getting their first b & w tv, but little did they know that color was alive and well at the same time. Granted the reliability of the early sets was suspect, but even still, an amazing feat.
