I don't see many old TV's here. I bought a 1949 Motorola set for $50 last year. It works but needs a few caps. I've seen a lot of old ones at the dump but they wont let you touch them. There is too much wastefulness in this country(cash for clunkers comes to mind). I also work on newer plasma and lcd tv's. They fail anywhere from 1 to 5 years and most are too expensive to repair. They are made to throw away! That's why I like the old "American made" sets that you can easily work on and last for 40 plus years! I don't expect that service from my Sony LCD but I can still watch this admiral for years after the Sony is dead!
