why old classics?

[aidynphoenix]

i understand the thrill and feeling of great accomplishment of restoring a beautifull piece of history to its origional condition and glory..

but i dont quite understand what you can use them for..
i know some of you use these old black and white classics with the tiny screens in your living rooms.. and watch old movies on them..

but why this over a large color crt or flatpannel?
