A new old RCA

[Charlie]

I forgot about this thread. Here's what happened. I went back to the guy's store to purchase a stove and mattress. After picking out the items I wanted, he says, "Let's talk about that TV. I can throw it in the deal for $300 bucks."

I told him no and explained it was too easy to find sets such as this one on Craigslist... many of them being giving away or close to it. He tried to push the fact that the set was in new condition... never been used. I pointed out that a 10-15 year old set that's never been turned on could have a lot of capacitors that won't appreciate being hit with electricity after being asleep for that long, and that I have no way of bringing this type of set up slowly on a Variac.

Will be funny to see if that set is still there the next time I go in to buy a new mattress... and see how much he tries to sell it for.
