Into the Future with Our Vintage Sets

[tvcollector]

Hum, I was thinking today, and was talking to a friend and we started talking about how far into the future will these old color roundies will still be working and producing pictures before they become static ojects.. He mentioned about 50 years from now you will probably see them still going.. Collectors will die off and they will be left behind in the hands of people who may just do anything to them, throw them out, propped somewhere for decoration etc.. It's not just a color roundie thing either, even those old B&W round tube sets or sets in general from the 40s 50s and 60s.. I think more than 50 years from now there will be a handful sets still operating with the original picture tubes.. If someone starts rebuilding them again, I think even much longer, but Flybacks may be an issue...
