Curses, foiled again! The TV has sentimental value to the woman who owns it, she remembers all the early color shows she watched on it. She did sound tempted when I offered her some of my pool service labor as a swap (perhaps $100- it might cost me) but said no for now in the end.

Of course now that I'm aware of color roundies I want one, but this one may take some time.
