As an old saying goes and one Frank Reagan(AKA :Magnum, Tom Selleck) said on a Blue bloods episode to I thik his son..
"you can't save every puppy in the pound"..
The sets do NOT feel anything...when the packer blade comes down on them after all.. I know many of seem to forget that...but it IS true.
SO I tend to go for old sets we ALL love, late 1980's sets of the types I WORKED On back then..(like LXI sets from Sears--since I worked for the service center then..).and NEWER flat-panel sets I can FIX AND SELL. I recently passed up a 61 inch I think Samsung DLP set..I COULD NOT heven even fit in my van if I WANTED it...and likely it needed a DLP chip..(or soon WILL) anyway. Had I picked it upand fixed it..I would likely NOT be able to sell it-few people want those projo sets--be it CRT, DLP, LCD, DILA , LCOS or whatevr--today. (I DID grab the REMOTE..lying on TOP of ther set though...since it WILL work for a flat panel set).
But then AGAIN...I have a CTC-169 light-box in here right NOW...A man anted FIXED. It had capacitor leakage on the PC and a couple of traced eatern away because of that...killing the vertical. I was able to save it....and the tubes are NOT burned. It WILL go back in this set tomorrow...and I will make a fair amount for fixing it...so you NEVER REALLY KNOW...today !!
