Default Old TV's alive.

Not just in England but the US as well.

Maybe those old silver box TVs in my storage unit will become worth something again someday!!

It seems there is a small market for 90's TV's, mostly for "retro gamers".
Personally, I do have a small collection of 70's to 90's sets, but my passion will always be 40's & 50's sets.

Well I just thought I would post that link up at least there ARE others out there doing the same to preserve TV's not sure if the tubes are being manufactured anymore . That was a complex process !.

In years to come it could become trendy and prices will rocket on old retro TV, who knows.

Maybe, but I'm not holding my breath. Vinyl has a nostalgia value and the equipment is small and tactile, but, with a few exceptions a big chipboard or plastic box in the corner isn't quite as trendy.
Of course TVs from the Fifties and earlier can be quite pretty, but would be akin to a vinyl enthusiast having a wind-up gramophone.

I still have a few of those, plus the larger ones. Can't bring myself to get rid of them. My repair bench beside me uses a Sony PVM for no good reason!

I too, am ready for the trend

Most of my stuff has been in fashion on more than one occasion, values seemingly vary with the seasons/'current' trend.

Me? Never been in fashion, and yet, never out of date.
