Funny thing about the neighbors....Dad worked out of the our Garage in the mid-70s before starting his shop. He had just restored a 3-year old Quasar II console he was given, and our neighbor spotted it, and wanted it. Dad gave it to him, as he (and all of us) really loved the neighbor. Dad was nervous about that set for years, but it never failed, and was only replaced with a 26" remote set when the neighbor was home recovering from bypass surgery and needed a remote set.
