Fully agreed.

The Salvation Army closest to me still puts a few TVs out on the floor. Last I heard they don't take sets beyond a certain age, at least if donors call about them first. I have seen older TVs go straight to the recycling cage. I think the only reason my 1978 XL-100 survived is because they knew I'd want it. As I recall it was priced at 3 bucks. Of all my sets, that one's been with me the longest.
