I would guess not.
On the other hand, when one of my aunts died at age 91 about two years ago, my cousin found a vintage 1947 television set stored in her closet. It had a round screen about 4 inches in diameter in the center of a rectangular cabinet about 24 inches in diagonal measure. He did sell that relic on eBay for $2K.

Wow. :yowzer: Thats great. :thumbsup: I found an old cigar in the garage. Think its worth 2000 dollars. 😛 😉

I don't know who would want a very old cigar. :rowfull:

It is not even clear to me who wanted that ancient television. Perhaps an electrical engineer interested in history.

Darn. Its mold free.... well almost no mold.....well only a little mold.....I guess no one would want it. 😛 😉 😀

It depends on the model. Most models are not worth very much but there are a few that are worth a lot.

I don't know what model it was, but they were the only owners, my uncle and aunt, in that they bought that TV in 1947 to watch the Milton Berle show and used it until about 1960 when they got their first color TV.

Interesting. It sounds like it was one of the first TVs so that may be one of the reasons why its was worth money.

The first TVs available for retail sale were offered in 1946, so they bought theirs just one year later. It might have been the previous year's model.

What shocked me about it was that the screen was oval, almost circular, rather than rectangular.

Yea the first sets were odd looking buggers. I am certain years from now people will look at our LED TVs and say how antiquated and odd they look. LOL

I agree. They will mock all two-dimensional screens. 😀 😛

Cool idea for a story. 😎 :thumbsup:

I think a comedian once said "Invention of The Holodeck will be the end of civilization. No one will ever leave the place to face reality again." LOL

Probably a fairly true observation. 😀 😛
