That is exactly the way I am! I (along with most of the women I have dated) have often wondered if it was some kind of mental condition that caused a person to have a drive to repair something just so it can sit on a shelf and get used once or twice a year in order to keep the capacitors in working order. Also, if I get stumped on something I seem to not want it around and the way things are now I am forced to go back in time and scrap it. I used to at least be able to give a TV set to someone, or better yet make a few bucks to make back some of the cost of replacement parts and the value of tubes.
After NOT being able to find a loving home for my 1958 24" Zenith Space Command console set, neither for money or for FREE, I am just going to scrap anything that is not simply extremely rare.
I had high hopes for the Zenith due to what seems to be a VERY low use chassis and crt and the fact that the 24" tube is not exactly common, nor was remote control at the time.
