Funny to hear people describe things when they have limited knowledge of stuff like that. If you ever worked in any repair field, part of the fun is in the description on the ticket, or listening to people tell you in person what it was doing. I remember picking sets out of order if the description of the problem was so good I just had to see it do that right now!!! One good one was of a set that had bad horizontal sync, the ticket said something like " when it warms up the picture starts to spin to the right, and then it spins to the left" It was more fun that our shop had a receptionist, non technical, so she would write down whatever the customer said! ............ the good old days.........

Sad thing is, that's a reasonably desirable set...

Not sure who coined that but it has always been a favorite. Really gets to the point. ;)
