People have gotten VERY picky about TV sets. It is too easy to buy a new FlungDung at Wal*Mart. With some work I have found I can give away an 80s table model, provided it works well and has remote. The last time I had a good working console from the 80s (beautiful cabinet, stereo sound, remote) I had to leave it on the curb for a couple days before it dissapeared. I talked to a number of folks who were desperate, desperate, for a TV (people who were pleading on freecycle with posts daily for any sort of working tv sets at all) and they would not take that console if I paid them. Frustrating. I just parted 2 80s consoles this weekend as they both needed work and there is no sense putting time/money into something that I can't even give away.
