vintage TVs will become unusable objects in the not so distant future anyway... come to think of it, after the DTV transition the only sources of analog video are junk disposable chinese DTV boxes that usually fail within a few years and are likely going to become unavailable soon, the same goes for DVD players and even vintage VCRs have a limited lifespan due to aging and wear of unobtainium rubber parts and video heads
