I threw away a 25" Sharp just like that, manufactured in '98..It worked but I couldn't justify taking it in a move. Someone took it the same day I put it out..likely a scrapper. They're pretty reliable sets, but the CRT was soft in a few I've seen--it wouldn't focus until about 20 seconds after power up.
My '80s Sharps are good sets IMO..I have a '84 13" with composite input and remote and an '82 with remote and an LED tuner readout. Only gripe with these is that the cabinets are cheap..If you play the volume loud on either one, there is bad rattle even after tightening up all cabinet hardware.
