Woohoo! Sharp 25R-S100 with remote by the side of the road.

[NoPegs]

Well, it's not what I'm hoping to discover, but it seems that fate has taken notice of my desire to acquire some TVs at least....






Model: R25-S100, manufactured in 2002.

Sign on the face of the tube says "FREE FREE WORKS" and the remote is taped to the top. I just lugged it in from the car (At 28, I'm beginning to think that I'm shortly going to be too old to live in a 2nd floor apartment.) and haven't powered it on (and won't, yet, see below.) but nothing seems visually wrong with it.


It couldn't have happened on a better day either. The YL is coming over for more electronics knowledge acquisition this evening, and I just purchased a shiny new Rigol oscilloscope (which will get it's own thread shortly.) and was planning to hit up the thrift stores for some simple consumer electronics items that make for good probing, but now I'm going out to the thrifts to find a bigger or at least sturdier workbench with enough room for two people to share. And a few $3 transistor radios and alarm clocks too.


I can only hope I'll find something with more than "one" "tube" in it someday.


I like my 19" 1989 Zenith System III just fine, I don't need this 24" (or 27"?) but when it has served it's current purpose, I will pass it on to someone who will actually use it. The last time I actually had my TV on was to watch the winter Olympics. I'd say I average less than an hour per year of actual TV watching in my own home.
