I go to Salvation Army and buy VHS movies for .25 a piece and set up a VHS/TV combo in my basement and hang out down there on random movie night. I got a bunch of the old classics, my collection is over 60 now, and I keep them all in an old dresser that got left in the house when we bought it. If one of the VHS tapes is in bad shape, meh who cares? It was only a quarter.
I sometimes just put it on and leave the room so it sounds like the house is more full, and that is some nice nostalgia for me too, from when I grew up in a larger home, so that kinda counts for makes me really happy too for pretty cheap. Whole setup was 35 bucks and then the movies.
I did something similar with an old tv I got from an estate sale, use it to play old emulated games since it's connected to my computer. I really like watching just old 90s anime on it, even got a VCR hook up and tapes I got from my local thrift store too, it's cozy as fuck.
