Will sets left alone be worth more?

[RobtWB]

"The early sets required regular tweaking and maintenance, and many have lasted over half a century of either disuse, or moderate use and continuous maintenance, or any condition in the continuum between. The reliability of properly-restored earlier sets will be the same now as when they were new. And that is a reliability nowhere near what late model sets give--for about 10 years for most makes."





How true the above quote is.

You know that there are days that I get really frustrated with the vintage sets.
Even my 80's and 90's sets occasionally require tweaking, whether it be readjusting the color, tint brightness, contrast etc.

Sometimes I am really tempted to run to a big box store and just buy a new lcd or plasma set as an everyday watcher. Any brand should do, ... from what I see only the name on the sets are different. At least with one of these, all I should have to do for the next 10 years is change the remote batteries.
