Oh no!!!!!! I just noticed that there is ANOTHER KDE-61XBR950 leaning on the couch this morning.... It just showed up there; honest!
$18,000 in 2004; $free on Craigslist in mint condition with media box & cables in 2013.
This one has low hours, and comes on and works, but starts pulsating bright/dark and shuts down in a about 2 minutes. It's actually in mint condition, whereas the other one I got (topic of thread), has rub mark on the glass. So I'll probably make this one the keeper, if I can manage to get it working.
