I picked this 1983 Grundig 19" tabletop off the curb, it was in perfect working conditions and i was going to keep it, but... it happened AGAIN!!!
I left it in my barn for several days as i had no room in my TV storage room, then, this morning, i forgot to lock the barn's door... the mule opened the latch and got into the barn and while he was trashing everything in search for food, he toppled the set, then he probably startled and kicked it!
The kick smashed the audio and chroma board and b+ regulator heatsink, cracked the chassis and bent its metal frame, the CRT neck snapped beneath the yoke and the cabinet and back cover got smashed too, the set is a total loss, i'm going to keep the speakers and throw out the rest of it,
He was lucky the CRT didn't implode on him!
The set before the mishap:
The smashed boards, bent frame and heatsink:
smashed back cover:
The little bastard:
