I just dumped my 19" Trinitron from about 1975. For the past year or so, sometimes it would come on, sometimes it wouldn't. When it did, the picture was still great. Then it wouldn't come on for months, then work for a month or two. Finally, gave up the ghost.
SONY TRINITRON ON 11 YEARS
A casual acquaintance, a real New York City eccentric, a guy who didn't throw out a newspaper or a beer bottle for over a decade and who's apartment became a public health hazard which resulted in his landlord issuing an ultimatum to clean up or get out had a Sony 19 inch vintage late 1970's tv set left on for eleven years finally break down!
He then called the guy (my friend) who sold it to him many years ago and complained! He then brought it to a local repair shop and left it there for three years. When he went to claim it, he was enraged that they sold it off in a unclaimed goods sale a year earlier!
I swear this is all true. There are alot more stories I could tell but this is an audio/video site. He'd make a great screenplay!
