Video and radio technology is so basic to modern life a restored working set like a porthole or color roundie gets a LOT of attention from my young snowboarding friends. They often build their computers and can write/debug code so there's a certain continuity as the geek has become the cowboy of the silicon prairie. What's amazing to them is it's all pieces parts and wires, or early printed circuits a good warm breath will lift the traces from.
BUT what matters is is it cool looking and does it work. However for TVs a lot more looks cool to them as the young ones never saw anything but black plastic box CRT televisions that still litter the curbs here.
