A bit late to save it, in MHO(8" Zenith porthole)

Take a look at this. A Zenith porthole tv, and they have a plastic sheet over the face of the tube to protect it. BUT-- They were a bit too late--as the telltale "black spot" is clearly visible in the center of the screen, indicating the neck is probably broken!! A shame, too!!

Something is very odd about some of his positive feedback. Too many from the same buyer on different type of items. Sellers like that give e-bay a bad name. Just think there are buyers that didn't even post neg-feedback they just let it go and may never buy from an e-bay seller again. Myself I stay far away from anybody with more then a few negs sometimes a seller gets a impossible buyer but it's easy to tell those. A power seller could have more then a few negs but the good ones will work with buyers to try and get positives etc...

Sounds like a big operation with a bunch of underpaid employees who don't care...

Why does this TV remind me of the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" sketch-"That parrot wouldn't go "Voom" if you run a million volts thru it. It's dead, it has ceased to be..."

If it's Mayflower the crt is mounted to the chaiss not the cabinet. The Mayflower has a 10" tube.

Talking

That CRT face looks a bit like a giant eyeball, the black spot the pupil and iris. Maybe it only works on the CBS network?
