REAL TVs have TUBES!

I feel the same thing; having been a collector now for nearly 35 years, as I have too many BIG sets to ever have time to enjoy restoring or even displaying/appreciating. I think I'd call it hoarding, but I draw the line at where I will not allow anything to deteriorate, and I only have one vintage TV at a time in the livingroom. After all, it seems "real" when it looks like a 1965 Zenith roundie, or whatever I might have in place at the moment, is the "main family TV".

So I rotate sets. I have a 1200-sf building on a rental property down in Los Angeles, where I keep a lot of sets, and just pull one out and put one away now & then. My mini & pocket TV collection is all on a set of neat shelves in the family room, so that's not too imposing. I would NOT have any of these extra sets, if I had to pay storage costs, or if they were stored in a way that they were going to deteriorate or pose a nuisance.
