Part of it, for me, is bringing a set back from the dead, be it a radio or a tv. I really don't watch much tv nowadays. I guess bringing a late model tv back to life could be entertaining but its a whole new ballgame & I don't know how to play! As for performance, I feel there is a certain warmth to tube sets that is missing from solid state. (well, yeah, they DO get warmer!) Watching a color picture on a newer set doesn't do anything for me but on a good running roundie something just glues my eye to the screen. There is one other thing, the ability to tinker. So many adjustments, so many corrections that can be made. And at my core I'm a tinkerer. Not many dials on those new sets!
