   I have a couple of older CRT TVs here that both worked the last time I   
   turned them on.  One is from 1994, the other is older than that (not sure   
   how old, but pre-1990)... it is not even "cable-ready."  ;)   
      
   Both of them were used heavily for 15 or so years before being relegated to   
   "part-time" status, mostly by the digital changeover.

   Yeah they can.  My first flat screen TV maybe lasted 6 or 7 years.  :(
