The set was top-o-line when new & was in the $1000 range.
It wont have stereo or video ins. It will have auto on/off.
I would make him an offer & when it dont sell you got it.
Also tell him it will live on as a TV thats used daily. That
can be worth quite a bit to many sellers.
The $1500 set is the same set with pop out controls.
IIRC both have a seperate power amp with 10 or 20
real watts. No need to comment on his drug use or state
of mind, he is obviously deranged.........
