Uh-Oh, forgot to add these

Still use a tring-tring rotary dial ITI telephone in my living room.

(Love the look on my guests' faces when it rings or when I dial a No from it.)
Many of them loook at it first & asks whether it still works. It does, for sure and with no flaws at all. The voice clarity is much better than in today's push button telephones.

Still have my Sony Trinitron KV-2062E television.
It stopped working well last year as the picture tube has seen the end of its life-span.
I think a replacement tube may not be feasible/practical, (unless some FM suggests otherwise).
Am I going to junk it?
NO WAY! Worse case scenario prevailing, I am going to remove the pic tube and use it as a mini-bar.
Imagine. This was my Dad's gift to me in Goa for topping Class X in 1984. It came from the GULF at (a then princely amount of) 13.5 K.
Any suggestions would be most welcome and much appreciated.

My future purchases are going to be another HMT skeleton pocket watch,
(with a transparent rear cover, so you can see the moving parts inside)
a HMT Pilot watch
and
a HMT Roman watch (chronometer).


(Wish I could buy a tower clock but it costs 4 lakhs, plus I dont have tower to mount it upon)


Love surfing you tube for FD documentaries and commercials like these
