I turned on the TV a couple of weeks ago to see if the set still works. It does. I’ll check again in a few months.
I did that just for fun with the TV in my apartment in another city that I get to visit maybe every 2 months. I've had that TV for 20 years, but now it doesn't work any more. Oh, wait...it's the TV stations that don't work on it any more! Neverrrrminnnnnnnd.
