How much is a Sony 35in. Trinitron seven year old TV worth?

Answer 1

Worth of Sony Trinitron 35 Inch TV

Depends on the picture, but used electronics aren't worth much. You might get $35 -50.00 for a working set with a good picture, if you're lucky.

If it looks good and works OK, I'd consider hanging onto it until it dies. The new TV's aren't all they're cracked up to be and you might get three years out of one before you start having problems. Today's new TV"s aren't anything to write home about, as they say.

Since it's a Sony, if nothing more's wrong with it than a dark picture, you might want to consider paying to have the tube rejuvinated. It could bring the tube back to life for as much as another two years and most TV shops only charge around $35.00 for the procedure, plus service call. (Sony's seem to respond to the rejuvination process better than any other brand.)

I disagree as to the "potential value" of electronics which is "antique" or out of production. Especially if it is in MINT condition and working order. I have 2 units of 13 year old SONY TRINITRON - one is 36" and the other is 32". Both used daily and never looked better. The original Apple computer in 1976 sold for $666.66 and was sold recently at Sotheby auction for $ 374,500. Today I would not sell my 36" Sony for less than 25K - remember they don't make these any more - it has an intrinsic historical value - even for museums. Do you know that a used pair of MADE in USA Converse men's canvas jogger is priced about $500

today? Why? - because they don't have any Converse production in the USA anymore.
