Did you notice the equipment he had? Neither did I.

I guess if a good whack on the sided didn't fix it, the set is toast.

I was told that simple repairs are $10, major repairs are $25.

Should I check his "warehouse" to see if he has any 15G's or 21AX's, pulls or NOS, while I'm here??
Hope you guys are having a good time over there. Say HI to Vandy for me.

We're hoping you & Tamy will join us in Cancun later this year!
Vandy wants to spoil you two BIG time!
Ya know, the Mayan was sold, the Caribbean will be sold next year. Cancun won't be the same.

Those CRTs with the busted necks were probably scavenged for the copper in the yokes. Thats how the Mexicans around here do it.

One time a set was left by a dumpster nearby. Eventually someone smashed it apart for the yoke, leaving the carcass a short distance away in the grass and a large LIVE CRT on its side next to the dumpster. I figured it was an accident waiting to happen, so I went down there to take care of it. Well, someone came to the dumpster with some picture frames, gave me a dirty look and smashed the glass out of the frames on the inside wall of the dumpster before leaving.

I taped a note to it explaining what I had done and why. I hope that guy saw that too.
