I don't want to overpay for this tv.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry about not having pictures or a better description, but I saw the tv in passing and it's about an hour trip from here, so it's not readily accessible. Steve, I was thinking along the same lines as you regarding the price; the owner wants around $80, and while I'd pay that for a restored one, it seems pretty high for a questionable one. Maybe I'll check back in a few weeks and see if it's still around; by then, maybe the price will be more negotiable.
