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.  :(
