The TV's have to be hooked up to a digital converter to receive over the air broadcasts the radios still work properly and I use a couple of the radios on a regular basis

They were like pieces of art back then. Don't get me wrong. Modern tvs have better pictures and all that, but they will never look as smart as the old ones.

I love my Sony Trinitron from the 1980s. It still works fine for an old clunker!  :green:

Of course. Id rather watch the World Cup on my modern flat screen. But for actual beauty, nothingbeats the old wooden tvs.
