That is a good analogy, bigbro. I had an old convertible thru law school. No seat belts, no rear view mirror, but every stop light someone wanted to know "what year?" is it "real?" A rolling museum it was, even if starting her up in the morning could be an adventure. One must have an "accomodating" mind whem considering the old establishements, for sure. There are so few "real" Tiki dens left, just about anything is acceptable if it's authentic. So, if TV's is more nautical than Tiki, so be it...cause you still get a great drink )$$$) in a real old Tiki Bar. You still considering selling some of your collection? I await the chance to pick up some of your duplicates! midnite
