[Boatanchors] Question from an admitted 'Newbie'

[Bob Jackson]

Is there any kind of general consensus on exactly what is or isn't a 'boatanchor'? I'm a 72 yo and BAs to me are the post-WW2 tubes sets made for the commercial (vice military) market on up to the advent and eventual dominance of the so-called 'solid state' rigs. It seems clear to me that others' definitions go back to a somewhat earlier time and do include re-cycled military gear. What is the general consensus, please.
