A few years ago I was wandering around a West Vancouver neighborhood while waiting for a friend and among other things I found there was
a house a few blocks away that had suffered a fire a number of years earlier and had been sitting boarded up ever since. Well one of the back windows had their plywood pulled off and sure, lets take a peek inside.
Aside from your usual fire damaged home that had already been ransacked by transients, there was a console set in the basement living room. It was facing the wall and there was too much trash to pull it away and see what the front looked like but I distinctly recall that both the back was still securely on the set and the base cover was the triangular type which I think means it's a color tri-gun set? It could be a CTC, it could be a Zenith. I could be mixing things up and it's a mid-80's Electrohome. Worth a second look, even if it's for parts at this point.
So here's the deal. If it is such an older set it might be worth saving but in the time since I last snuck in they've gone and redone the plywood on all the windows and doors and I'm not sure how to explain to the new owner how I know there's a potentially desireable set in the basement since it's in a room with no windows and I never knew who lived there.
What do? Let this one pass?
