It is just amazing how electric toys have changed over the years

I remember when I was around 15 or so years old. My buddy, Don Same's dad got a color TV. It was the first one in the neighborhood. I can remember. Boy was that neat to see. I really don't remember when we got ours, it must have been shortly after that. I do remember my dad buying us a Stereo. You know all in one kind. It was a coffee table style. You pulled out the drawer and there is was, turn table and radio all in one. The speaker were on the end of the table. It really was neat to be one of the first to get one of them. 
Getting back to the size of TVs. This one has to weight around 45 pounds. The new one is 6 pounds. WOW. Plus the picture is so much better too. 
Now what do I do with this big one? I will store it and see what happens. Maybe a museum might want it?
