Lets see if any of you can beat my 1982 Sony Trinitron KV-1913. It's RF only so I currently only use it for second and third gen gaming. Got it a few weeks back for $5 at a Goodwill since it's tag color was half off. :) |

By age, I definitely cannot beat anyone's. I have an old Sony TV in my room that I plugged the SNES on. Unfortunately, I will not take pictures of it because my room is full of clutter. |

Oldest TV i own is a small B&W 10" form the 70's, it's only used for a couple older game consoles that have issues running on newer TV's. It's in storage in my basement and I really don't wanna dig it out atm to take pic's lol I remember being at a garage sale and some lady had a huge TV that was in cased in carved wood and had a screen that was maybe 10-15" looked like it was from the early 60's (maybe 50s) and it worked in beautiful B&W and she just wanted to get rid of it and offered it to me for free. But I really couldn't figure a place to put it so I passed. lol |

Or just Google search the model number and post a stock photo. --- Quote from: theflea on April 23, 2014, 04:18:51 am ---I remember being at a garage sale and some lady had a huge TV that was in cased in carved wood and had a screen that was maybe 10-15" looked like it was from the early 60's (maybe 50s) and it worked in beautiful B&W and she just wanted to get rid of it and offered it to me for free.

Even if it was still brand new and was never used all of those ancient wax paper capacitors would have dried up and failed by now. TV's from the 60's 50's and older usually have to be completely restored just for them to produce high voltage and display a raster. |
