5. Trinitrons still fetch good money on eBay, incredibly durable tubes

Thu Oct 23, 2025, 03:30 PM

Thursday

I had an XBR for about a week. I had to use it with its bunny ears and the reception was poor. The ears were brushed aluminum and did not pick up well like the chrome GE of the era. But surely Sony was not catering to rural areas.
