A lot better than current "ADHDTV" sets. No worries about security breaches or firmware updates. There was lot less to watch on TV those days, but in this case, quantity doesn't mean much if quality is compromised.

I used to drag these home when I was in high school. If I couldn't fix 'em, I'd strip them for parts, and use the parts to build other things. Somehow my enthusiasm for electronics has faded from over 40 years in the industry.

Harry, I'm only back for a few comments each, but I want to get to a representative sampling of all you've posted, and I'll do it over more than one session. I'm starting with this because it's so typical of the wild things you find in your neighborhood. Reading the comments above, I see this is a typical example of how people get so lost in the actual object of a photo, they forget the photo itself. This is a really fine shot---in angle, how the tv is angled against the sidewalk, how well it's centered in the image (where centering seems skewed by its angles), the great early or late day light (this being October, it has an autumnal glow), and the wonderful, strange decay on the set itself. As for the set, man, that's an old tv console! And it's a console for sure, with those fabric side-doors (which I assume open into something), the drawers (or fake-drawers) on the bottom, and some kind of controls on the upper right. Plus a wonderfully decayed top, with---what---instructions on top? Wonderful shot of a wonderful find, awash in deep golden yellows.
I wonder what people think when they see you stopping at, and focussing on, old shoes, old socks, old gloves, abandoned tv sets and stereos and god knows what...if they think, "this guy has lost his mind!" If they do think that, they don't understand the mind of a photographer. Few people capture these things; and honestly, when I see these in your gallery, I realize I'm walking around blind, because i NEVER see this kind of stuff in my city, even though I know it's there. Love the find, and love the shot.
