Unfortunately some moron had cut the power cord off! why do people do this?...

I know that around here, if you dispose of electronics, you're supposed to cut the mains lead off. That prevents someone with no electronic knowledge taking a potentially damaged item home, plugging it in, and getting electrocuted or burning their house down. I think it's a great idea, as if you know what you're doing, replacing the mains lead is a two-minute job - and gives you an opportunity to check out the innards of the set for damage and potential hazards.

'Cause people nowadays are IDIOTS, & think that anything that's NOT the "Latest & the Greatest" ain't worth having... Good for US, though..

It's the sad truth. There are some people who recognise the historical and monetary (sometimes) value of vintage appliances. The majority though, probably just see vintage sets as "dusty junk, taking up space".
