Thinking back, the number of valve televisions and radios I used to scrap in the 1980's was bordering on criminal. They were masterpieces but many were uneconomical to repair (from the point of view of the owners), and many of them never returned to collect them from our workshop. We literally ended up collecting hundreds of them.
I know they would be obsolete wuith current digital broadcasting, but when I got one repaired and glowing, I would stare at them for what seems like hours.
So sad valve technology is almost extinct, except for the niche markets, such as guiter amps.
