The next question pertains to console televisions.
I'd like to find (much
to my wife's dismay) a console television like the one my parents had back
in the late 70s. I'd like to use it to play old video game consoles from
the 70s and 80s. I believe these were all vacuum tube sets though, is that
correct? Is there a good source for these things (the TVs and the tubes)
today?
Seems like there's always at least one sitting there whenever I do a run to
the local dump (about once a month) - not sure what their rules are on taking
them away / buying them, though. Never see any vintage computers, sadly :-(
(although maybe that's a good thing if they don't allow them to be taken away
once they're on the premises!)
cheers
