I'm 47 and have been collecting old TV sets most of my life. I've had a few people think I'm weird and I've had to deal with a few wisecracks over the years, bur I don't mind. There are young people out there who appreciate this stuff and I think there always will be. I used to go to the junk shops around town and pick up 50's B/W sets for next to nothing and color roundies really cheap too. I bought my first color set, a CTC-5, for $1. People thought I was nuts then but the value of some of these sets has gone through the roof. I'll probably collect sets for the rest of my life, since I haven't found either of my "Holy Grail" sets yet. There's a Royal Sovereign out there in a barn somewhere waiting for me to find it, lol.
