I have thought of replacing my newer CHEAP Admiral with a vintage frig.
Its amazing that at one time, in an old industrial America with its own economy (no global) that we made products that are now prooving to outlast their owner.
Does anyone think their Wal-Mart Mao Tse Tung television will outlast them?

With the thought of everything made in china or mexico or some other country I believe my six year old dog will out live these sets! If you read the boxes of some of these LCD or plasma tvs the bulb life expectancy is about 25 to 30 years providing the set is played only five hours a day! At a price of $1,500 and up sure does not sound very long to me! Hard to beat the picture of a beautiful working CTC11 or 12 and theses sets are 45 years old! Shows the craftsmanship we had at one time here in the good USA!
