Tom, seeing a TV rising out of a mob-sized trunk takes me waaay back to my pre-pickup truck days I scrapped out a working 29JC45 for the same reason, a cheap cabinet. Still have all of it I think. Imagine, getting the CCII as a cheaper model - LOL

I abandoned the idea of restoring my Sylvania's cabinet but didn't want to scrap the set so instead I chose to await a donor cabinet. Almost nothing was re-usable, it would have been like trying to restore a modern car in decades to come.

I wanted this extended weekend to be a a time to sort the basement and bang out some projects, and it just ended up a waste. Quote:
I kept the whole cabinet face and base trim. If I cared enough about that set all I'd have to do to recreate the cabinet is find some particle board with similar fake wood grain on it, cut sides and top to the old dimensions, add some cross members and bolt the plastic front/side trim on. If I ever find a gutted danish modern combo or something I like as well that fist the face mask I can always stuff a CCII into it.

Tom - sorry to hear of the injury - keep it clean and dry. Cellulitis is a real pain. When I was 14, I was "climbing" shelf-to-shelf amongst my Dad's junk chassis (800 sq ft, all shelves), and fell - scraped my palm across a Sylvania circuit board bottom. 32 little lacerations, only got one stitch and 3 weeks of healing. All that for a 5600 ohm 7W resistor - "Dad, don't buy one, I know where one is...." He had the resistor, but had to clean the blood off. Be careful guys, and get those tetanus shots too. Get a set of work gloves - Walmart here had the polyurethane grip type on clearance, sadly I didn't grab a pair. I od like the Mechanix kind, but they do snag a lot in electronics. No ideal pair out there for me.
