WHen we bought our house in 2004, there was an old Magnavox console television in the back room. Previous owner had no desire to move the heavy thing out, I suppose. From the pictures I could find online, it was a mid-70's model. A real piece of furniture
We used it occasionally (I actually went as far as to buy a converter box for it when TV went all digital) but eventually it really just became a shelf to stick stuff on top of. We finally dragged it out to the curb about a year ago, but before we did, I checked to see if it still worked. Of course it did.
It was gone within 15 minutes of putting it outside, I'm sure it's still working in someone's basement somewhere in the neighborhood.
