Another victim of the modern mentality of disposable everything. I've seen people throw away perfectly working five year old TV's simply because they wanted a new one. At least once I've seen a late 80's/early 90's console on the side of the road with a sign "FREE: Works perfectly". This country is extremely wasteful, and most people think that new means better. They'd rather spend $200 on a 'nice, brand new' "Symphonic" or "Apex" television than to spend $100 to have a high end, four year old Zenith repaired. "Look - this new set's silver! Much nicer than that wood thing!"
Ugh. Oh well. At least this means that the good stuff is pretty cheap for us.
