It seems like you can get re-manufactured parts for classic cars and keep them running for ever.. But no one is rebuilding or making replicas of picture tubes, so if this continues we will eventually have sets only making sound.. I would think in the near future that someone would start manufacturing flybacks and crts to keep these sets alive.. It seems there is a little market for that since there are alot of collectors out there and more that are to start..
In thrift shops I see mostly TV sets from the 90s and 2000s.. Rarely anything 80s, and never anything tube.. Back in 1990s I use to see tube sets and 80s sets in the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores all the time.. I use to see 8 Track tapes and now I rarely see those.. Many of these thrift shops won't put out anything that even looks old.. These old clickers that ends up in there donation ben will end up in the dumpster working or not.. These thrift shops are very picky to what they put out on the floor for stuff they get for nothing..
