Must be hard sourcing the valves needed to keep the telly going.

 

[screenman]

I bet those that do still patch their own inner tubes, for enviroment reasons.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

......perhaps no one. Just a few canny Scotsmen cheating the licensing agency

Right enough, if the only film you ever watch is Whisky Galore then you don't need colour.

I was going to suggest the blind, but then I looked it up. They get a 50% discount which still makes the cost of their colour licence higher than a B & W one.

It's easier to get valves now than it was 25yrs ago thanks to the resurgence of things like this.



A recently rereleased version of the QUAD 11 valve amp (available as the 15W original and 40W & 80W new variants for between £4000 -£6000 depending on which model for a new pair) Loads of other companies making valve amps too, just try googling them.
As for Black and White televisions my old portable is still going strong on a mates barge a 39' wide beam (9'6") Dutch and a couple of friends don't even own TV sets.

You can get TV in colour?!

 

[Drago]

I'm not far off it. I watch so little tv that I've binned Sky and save myself 50 sheets a month.

Oh...wait. You're talking about TV.
