Once, the only collectable radios were from the twenties and then, later, the early 30s. Now the market for those is going soft. And yes, it's the same with cars. My Dad often talks about how much a model T was worth back in the seventies but now most of the folks who knew drove them when they were new are deceased.

12" bw sets, along with other seventies/eighties stuff, will become valuable when us Gen X'ers are in our fifties and have cash to spend. Yeah, I can imagine, 20 years from now, being 54 and wanting to relive my youth by finding the first tv set I ever bought new. (a mid-80s Midland 12" bw from Western Auto) (Come to think of it, that set remains the ONLY television I've ever bought new!)
