Why Old CTV?

[ChiefRider]

So, I've been reading the various threads here, and am intrigued by the enthusiasm you all have for the old sets. For some reason, old color tv's have not been on my radar screen. I own and enjoy several old radios, from eraly '20's battery sets, to some of the transistors of my youth, but not tv's. I'm not one to feel the need to run out and buy the latest technology- our family set is a 15 year old Sony XBR, that I bought used 5 or so years ago.

I'm sure many of the reasons are the same as to why I enjoy my old radios, but I'm hoping to solicit your opinions as to why old CTV's. I hope I don't offend anyone with this question, just interested in hearing your thoughts-

Thanks

Chief
