Do ya still use your old tv's?

[JCFitz]

I don't have anything real old but I use my little 1982 GE 10" tv every day while I'm on the computer and the news is on and sometimes all evening if I'm watching local programming as I don't have an outdoor antenna,DirectTv won't let me have CBS or ABC thanks to my local stations and it picks up much better than my 1985 Zenith Advanced System 3 which i use for watching DirectTv,DVDs and videos.Both sets are running strong with good color.The last one to need repair was the Zenith.2 problems.One was heat fatigued solder connections and the other was caused by a mouse that got into the set and peed on the circuit board.The strange one was the GE when I got it originally would play for a while and then the vertical would collapse.I thought it needed griplet repair which that chassis usually needs.I played it a few evenings while working on other things and one evening it didn't act up.Has been playing without a hitch for over 2 years.Never seen a tv fix itself.My uncle used a 1968 Zenith combo every day til 2000 when he got a refurbished Toshiba projection tv.He's still got a 1979 Zenith Chromacolor 23" with one knob tuning in his den.Gets used a lot.And an early 70's Panasonic in his bedroom.
