I agree, but you have to remember that most people outside our hobby don't care about the value of these old sets. When the set goes bad, out to the trash it goes (with nary a thought given to restoring the electronics), or, if the owner decides to keep the set, he or she will gut it, throw out the chassis, and....(gasp!)....install a modern LCD, plasma or LED flat panel set in its place in the cabinet.

Sad, but as CBS' Walter Cronkite always ended the CBS Evening News, that's the way it is.
