Only TV that I've ever owned is flaking out....

I made a recent trip to the goodwill store. You can buy 20" TVs all day long for $16.

Recently free to me was a 1978 Panasonic that works very well with the free converter from a few years ago. I just threw a $1,000 TV away at the recycling day because it wasn't worth fixing and this 35 year old set works fine.

I have a '78 model camper and this will look "period" in it which is a plus.

I personally have never purchased a TV. I always was luckily enough to get hand me downs or the extra TV no one wanted.

Recently I was lucky to get a 40" Bravia.
