Buying public wants cheap sets and doesn't appreciate in large part, something built to last. I remember last generation of wood console tvs in Gemco before they closed (around 1984). You paid a premiun for the quality and the cabinet. I saw a nice working RCA Colsole Tv 27" with wood cabinet(1983)in my area just sit in second hand store with no interest in it for only 50 bucks. I'm sure that's why there's a disposal charge for TVs in CA since TVs are throw aways now.
