Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be

They're hilariously worthless for anything but the original purpose. And that's from a guy who repurposes crap off the side of the road every week.
Even if they're real wood, the dimensions are useless. Maybe it could be chopped into a couple of tiny plant stands? LOL, now you got me thinking what I could do! Still, haven't found a use for them after all these years.
Thank for saying this, and also nice to meet you, fellow roadside and bin scrapper!

Was it common for people to have a turntable in their setup at this time?
-
Haha I have this setup to this day.
I use it for my regular Nintendo and Sega Genesis.
What do you use for you irregular Nintendo?
I'll see myself out

yes, but it was only used once because, as you can see, you had to pull the whole system out of the shelf to change records.

I’m old enough to remember when this was peak entertainment technology.
See, now that's just the TV stand for the newer TV on top!
But seriously, why the fake drawers in these? The drawer handles even rotated, but you'd just be pulling against the wood.

I have that exact Aiwa music player.
Last Sunday when I went back to my parents house, I noticed that the clock was blinking because there was a blackout, so I turned on and I saw that the 5 CD changer not only gets stuck but the laser doesn't see the discs anymore
I'm sad

Isn't the MiSTer like, way bigger than that?
No. Can confirm, I have one.

I have two AF Toshibas. One 27 inches and the other 14. I would have more if I had a house. They are still awesome!

Yes it was. The next jump after traditional records was cassettes. I find it hilarious that people are going back to records vs. digital

great picture. I'll bet that TV didn't even have one of the old style remotes to change channels
-
It still is next level. Modern setups aren't nearly as cool. TVs mounted to the wall, game consoles on the floor, and who even has a dedicated stereo system anymore?
I have a stereo system still, complete with tape deck and turntable.
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

The turntable isn't even on the top of the hifi separates unit. Pathetic!

$500 in the 90s would be equivalent to around $1000 today. That's a very expensive TV and more than I've spent on displays in total across my adult life (which includes some nice IPS computer displays)
wrote last edited by [email protected]I have a 75 in lg c1 in my theater and gaming room. Plenty of folks buy nicer displays. There are plenty of high end displays selling in volumes to support a very healthy display market.
This was true in the past as well. As stated, you talk to most middle class Americans and they knew at least one guy hosting a Superbowl party with a big ass TV.

Same, I got a 65 inch OLED big boy for the cinematic experience. I’m going to use the bastard.
Dam. I was only able to afford the 55 inch in 2020 so I’m just rocking the CX. Which did have the hackable firmware to remove all ads from YouTube so I’m not complaining. https://rootmy.tv/

Oh man, this reminds me of the Sony Trinitron my family had growing up. We inherited it from my grandparents on my dad's side when I was very young.
My grandpa died before I was old enough to remember him being alive, and my grandma we lost to dementia/Alzheimer's not long after.... So we got their TV.
Worked great for so many years, but somewhere around the 25-30 year mark, the picture had all but lost most of the color and I'm pretty sure that we had a failure in one of the emitters so one of the colors would only sometimes be there. We didn't keep it around after that started happening regularly.
It was like this, a huge cabinet on wheels, and it was flanked by two massive speakers the full height of the unit, and about 10" off each side of the screen.
That TV was home to our NES and SNES consoles for a long time, and eventually our Sega Genesis.
We had a lot of good times sitting on the floor playing games on that thing.

I don't feel nostalgic for the dark times when our televisions weighed 80 lbs just to beam us an inferior image. Sure, maybe for when being a teenager at the mall meant meeting girls and having a good time with friends walking around, buying nothing because we were all broke. But only the social aspects were better. I'll take today's entertainment any day of the week.
