Default Re: TV Collectors look away....

I don't get hot under the collar about such modifications to common sets. There are much more important things going on in the world at the moment involving the mistreatment of humans and animals, not massed produced inanimate objects. We're not going to suffer for the well intentioned repurposing of a relatively few common TVs and radios. I mean, let's introduce a sense of perspective here, what about all the countless thousands (millions?) that have been taken to the tip for decades and still are now?! Surely getting some use out of them is better than them being buried? Or is it just that we don't like people 'doing what they enjoy' because it doesn't align with our own ideas? If true, that would be narrow minded. As restorers we often have to be creative. There are many ways to be creative, we're all different.
