"the quality goes in before the name goes on"

an old guy that lives across the street[i help him out from time to time]has an old quasar color tv thats nearing 40 years old.i wouldnt even mention it but the picture is unreal!he has a set of rabit ears on top,gets 4 channels,and he thinks this is gods creation!i have to admit, the picture this old set displays is wonderful.is this the norm for old quasars?if so im going to keep my eyes open for them.
