Anyone still use a working valve [tube] TV ?

I have to keep reminding my old mum there's no point banging the top of her TV these days if it's 'playing up'.


Btw.. every time I've had to go round her house to fix it, the problem has always been 'user error'.

For instance, using the wrong remote [for her CD/radio boom box] for days on end before she let me know there was a problem...

"... and I'm banging the top of the set, but it still won't work..."

Slicing the aerial cable in half [how the F did she do that !!!???] and sellotaping it back together..

".. I keep banging it but it still wont do anything..."..... 😣
