One of the ones you got from me in that big package lot of TVs a few years ago, was found lying in a flood control ditch out on Dillon Road in the middle of the Coachella Desert... Been there for Heaven knows how long in 120-degree heat, and it worked! It had a really banged-up cabinet, if I recall, and maybe concrete splattered on it.
