Those types of places are a dying breed. Competition from the "big chain" stores has forced a lot of the "mom & pop" furniture, appliance, and TV dealers out of business. There is still an independent TV and appliance dealer in a small town about 30 miles away. In fact, the owner gave me a couple boxes of radio tubes that had been in the attic for decades. This was in the early '90's.
An elderly lady that I know has a mid '90's Magnavox 27" that's on it's last leg and I'm wondering how much trouble we are going to have finding her a basic 25"/27" TV. I've fixed it 2 or 3 times in the past and now the color has gone out and the CRT is not in good shape. She's already said that she does not want one of those "expensive new style TV's". Maybe if we're lucky, we'll find a leftover model like you did. Otherwise, I'll have to fix up a used TV for her.
