My in-laws have a 34" Sony widescreen tube TV with component inputs still in one of their rooms. As was stated, it's a beast. It's a nice enough set, but obviously not a match for today's nicer sets and kind of a burden these days. When I gave 99% of my collection to an auction house the end of December, they took pretty much anything and everything not nailed down (and even stuff that was!) except for my two Sony Trinitron tube TVs. One is a 20" with composite inputs and the other is a 32" with s-video. I incorporated them into what remains of my vintage collection, but it would have been nice to have gotten rid of them as well. The 32" in particular is incredibly heavy and recycling centers increasingly are refusing to take these things anymore. This section in the article caught my eye: “It’s getting harder and harder, and the price goes up and up and up,” he says. He gestures toward a sizable Sony Trinitron, one of his prize finds. “Ten years ago, I could get them under $100. Now it’s $2,000. Certain TVs, everybody wanted to grab.” I can't imagine what that's referring to (the $2,000). -Bill ======================================================== Bill Loguidice, Managing Director; Armchair Arcade, Inc. <http://www.armchairarcade.com> ======================================================== Authored Books <http://www.amazon.com/Bill-Loguidice/e/B001U7W3YS/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_1> and Film <http://www.armchairarcade.com/film>; About me and other ways to get in touch <http://about.me/billloguidice> ======================================================== On Tue, Feb 6, 2018 at 2:00 PM, Dean Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I have a Sony 29". Just saw someone throw out a larger one. Didn't know
they made tubes that big.
I used to have a 30-something CRT TV.
