We have a newer flat screen, but Mr S has our old, heavy one in his mancave. We’re too cheap to toss a tv that works. Of course, there’s no grandkids - yet. (Fingers crossed!)
“We’re too cheap to toss a tv that works”
And it will probably work for many more years. One of my biggest gripes with the flat screens is that consumers seem to readily accept the notion that they only last around 5 years.
I’m going to avoid jumping into that pool for as long as I can. I recently threw out one that I bought in 1992, after it finally broke. And my step son occassionally gets paid to clean out houses where the renters have skipped town...so I’ve got a closet of ancient, yet functional, television sets from him.
