From my house!
I'm just kidding, of course, but it's going to be hard to find one of the "old style" televisions and have it be in new condition, without referring to Craigslist or eBay, or even your local Goodwill (where you can generally find them for under $10!) Actually, an analog television is still a good buy, especially now that you can get them so cheaply, because they will work just fine with a cable or satellite hookup, or with a digital converter. However, most manufacturers just aren't making them anymore.
Here's a few analog televisions I was able to track down.
On eBay, this older Spacemaker TV has never been mounted or used, and the bidding right now is at $10. It might be a good choice for a kitchen, if you have a digital converter or cable to attach to it.
There was also a nice RCA used TV at a used electronics store shown below, and it's only $29. They don't ship, so you'll have to go there yourself to pick it up in Orlando, Fla., if you live near there.
You might also like the Sylvania VCR/TV combination on eBay as well. You can also plug it into your car so your kids can watch videos when you're on the road.
Your best bet, however, would be to scout out your local thrift stores, so you can get this cheap and save yourself a lot of shipping costs.
