Well if its a tv of the analogue type then retro gamers with old
consoles or computers are your target,


Nope, they want flashy curved multiple screens.


Did you miss the word "retro"?


You missed computers.

if its modems, sadly not much call for them if they have a psu


Havent seen one that doesnt use a plug
pack for getting on for half a century now.


Not sure what he meant there. Adding "don't" might help.


Nope.

If they have a PSU it can be used for something else.

But given the sentence from him below, he is clearly
talking about plug packs when he says psu. My brainfart.

though a lot of people might like an analogue psu to replace the crappy
switch mode ones that they supply now that make good radio jammers.


A microscopic handful imo.


Switch mode crappy?


Nope, an analogue psu. One with a mains
transformer and not a switch mode psu.

WTF? Way more stable output.


But he is complaining about the hash he gets with his short wave radio
