When I was in high school, one of my teachers gave me an old Emerson console TV, which I restored and got working again. I still have that set 42 years later. In college, I had a TV repair and sales business that I ran out of my apartment. Lots of good memories associated with old TV sets and radios. I also appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of those old sets. Nothing like that is available today, and the current attitude is "throw it away" to get the latest and greatest (IMHO, Apple Computer is the worst offender of promoting this). So I hoard old TV sets.
